I've had mine for about couple months now and as a service electrician, these are the best wire strippers I've ever owned. Not just the fact they're really good at stripping, but the durability. I use them to ream conduit, bang out knockouts, outdoors stripping wire and old muddy dirty christy boxes, out in the rain, they do not fall apart. Hell I have accidently shorted out a wire i was stripping and it even survived that. pretty much what i'm saying is that you can beat these up and they'll keep going. I Think the spring being internal in a genius idea, keeps it from getting messed up.
As a mechanic, knipex are by far and away the best pliers, cutters, strippers that I have ever owned. Seriously I love them. Every mechanic, trades man or dyi guy needs a few pair.
I bought a pair. By far the best stripper I have ever bought. Beats all the other big brands I own. The last pair was Milwaukee which I still really like but they don't even come close to the Knipes stripers.
got these babies and they are everything you could ask for in a wire stripper even if you dont strip wire daily when you do you will be so pleased with these they cut like butter and make ur life easier
I’m a devoted fanboy from Canada . I recently acquired a pair of the 13 17 8 combination pliers , best engineered combination pliers I’ve ever used ! I would have preferred the Comfort grip iteration , sadly not yet available in Canada . The latch is very well thought out ( I usually drill of latches ) ! Best combo tool I’ve handled !
@@Tre16 I too have a pair of Comfort Grips , now I hope they come out with a 1000v VDE version ! I really enjoy mine , my Lineman pliers ( also Knipex are now pretty much only a Badge of Office !
@@ralphmartinez5792 chadstoolbox. I've ordered from them before and they've been great. Looks like these pliers are on pre-order though so they won't ship until November.
So how does this fair for safely stripping the jacket/'sheath' off of 14/12G, 2/3-wire NM ("Romex") cabling? I see other strippers with this specific cutting die built in and it its 100% mandatory IMO for a 'universal' wire stripper.
These are most definitely excellent! However, I would like to make some suggestions. In a future updated version, I would like to see these offer the ability to strip 10 AWG strained (and keep the other stripping sizes available as they are now, and just add the 10 AWG option to it), and potentially add a universal crimper. Then, offer new version in a comport grip AND 1000V rated insulated version. For me, this would essentially be the best of almost everything.
Alright, you can cut the screws, but I would of liked to see how they thread into something afterwards. Having to thread them into other tools allows the threads to be cleaned up when you unscrew them from the tool. And I never had an issue putting them into a fixture afterwards vs just chopping them with a regular pair of side cutters.
Because of the angle you insert the 8-32 or 6-32 screw into the pliers, it shears the screw perfectly and with no burr. It is really surprising to everyone that sees me use these.
A true Game changer , put my strippers and Lineman’s out of work . Brilliant design ! I live them almost as much as I love your “ Pliers for Electrical Installation ! I hope you come up with a VDE version soon !
1396200 is the forefather. stripping, cutting and everything else it has, but no bolt cutter. In the field i never cut bolts like that. usually use bolt cutter for excess bolts
@@АлексейВладимирович-г2э9т this is a wire stripper and the cutter is not designed for cutting steel, use this on Cooper or aluminum wires only, or you will damage the cutter.
Never had an issue , at a guess , I’ve prolly done at least a hundred or so , now I just buy 2” screws and cut them to length . Saved me a lot of parts box space .
I am usually a fan of the red dipped plastic handled Knipex tools, but DO enjoy the comfort (Blue and Red grips) on the larger cobras (250mm & 300mm) Anyone have a recommendation on which handle type I should get for these pliers? I NEED TO HAVE THESE! Edit: Seeing how the price of the Comfort Grip is about $8 more than the standard, I think I'll go standard LOL
I'm sure you've long since purchased, but I always pause before I order their tools and think about this also. My go to now is thinking about what I'll be using them for and whether they'll be an all day tool or just something you grab to work on something for a few minutes here and there. I also look at my hand and think how it felt the last time using a similar tool. And lastly I consider three trade-off of the extra bulk in storage and in use. I ordered these in comfort grip as I imagine using them setting up outlets which is often an all day task, and usually get sore in the hands after being on that program for a full day or two. Any short handled cutters are nice to get cushy also. Especially ones that also shear screws.
is the head wide enough to twist 3 or 4 12-gauge solid together? edit i own these now and love them yes you can twist wires just have to get used to new pliers, they strip and cut better than any other stiper ive used LOL
When is this coming to the USA !?!? I need this. Love my installation pliers and this is a big upgrade. And I have the pliers by klein your advertising and it definitely takes forever with the screw cutter.
@@KnipexToolsUSA That is absolutely a mockery to say the least . Your discriminatory attitude is absolutely disgusting. Shame on you . And you still consider yourself a proud european brand. I will no longer use your tools because of your attitude , and i will boicote your tools. I hope many europeans will do the same.
Knipex has the best pliers. The only exception could be their standard long nose, too thin to handle solid 10 AWG, but they work great on solid 14 AWG. Klein has an outstanding product too only slightly less preferred than knipex.
If only you could make these with the yellow and red 1000v rated insulated handles. I like these better than the multi purpose pliers with the yellow and red handles.
