- amzn.to/3r5so6L The Knipex Plastic Pliers come in two varieties: Snipe nose multiplier and Needle nose shaped. Both are 1000v rated and non-marring. Best of all, they are affordable especially compared to Snap On. While they are a very specialized tool, they have great use outside their wheelhouse.

I have both of them. I use the 01's to replace disconnect 30A fuses as well as 24v 3A and 5A board fuses. I use the 02's to push in contactors and stubborn wires into a crowded box or panel. You hit the nail on the head about the long nose pliers, I'm considering cutting some aggressive grooves for more grip because they slip too easily when you need them most.
I think they are best suited in cases where you work with live wires, and you don't want to accidentally short live to ground, neutral, or even short between different phases.
Agreed. I have both and use them almost exclusively for panel work... pulling wires, placing wires onto terminals/screws/buss-bars/etc. I have a healthy respect for electrical panels, knowing even if the main breaker is shut off, the feeds are still live and you usually have to bring new circuit wires into the panel from above and across those live legs.
I've used them for aircraft electrical harnesses, not so scared of the voltage but of damaging 100's dollars worth of delicate cables
I agree, they can be bulky, but for working when you can't shut down power they are nice to use, nice to not get poked...
I have the long nose version for reaching into electrical distribution boards and manipulating wires without damaging them. They're good, but a little bulky to be great.
Completely agree with this. Wish they offered a slimmer version due to this.
I have both pairs and they come in handy now and then.
I’ve always wanted those needle nose ones. I’ve just never bought them. I like the idea of completely plastic pliers for working in a live panel. Not that anybody should do that, but if you do, those seem like the ones to use.
I like the needle nose ones for pulling wires out far enough to get a clamp on meter around them in HVAC/R equipment.
I want them for fuses too, for industrial heater control equipment.
Those stupid fuse pullers are always dropping them😢
So I use vde wiha pliers🤣
Super safe!!!
Love the videos
I can see using this for some gunsmithing tasks, such as holding small parts like sights pieces, tightening ejector rod without scratching\marring your gun parts. Probably great for working with jewelry and repair too. Just a few ideas for use.
I am not sure I have seen a fuse box on a modern vehicle (maybe one of the two fuses in my 59 Land Rover) where you could get the combination pliers on a fuse, maybe the needle nose would work (not that it matters as a fuse box as it is 12v the live stuff is below the surface so I just use small non-VDE pliers) but the application I use the combination pliers and it’s the only one I have is to pull spark plug wires off a running vehicle to test for which cylinder is dead. Have not used my needle nose, but I got them in case I had to do work on something live and did not want to short with metal ends. Plus, you know, curiosity and to have all the Knipex.
I work on campers and RVs a lot and there is often room because there is a single row of fuses with larger ones on their own and on inverters and such.
I think I will pick some of these up for model kits.
I use these for jewelry applications (links,etc.) so I don't show the crimp, per se
Great application. The more I work with these pliers, the more I find unusual uses for them where I may have either scratched surfaces, or tried to get a grip with something like cloth inserted into the jaws of metal pliers. Some have suggested things like sparkplug wires. I can see air tube manipulation as well.
Halo grt from holland do you have any expiriens with glow in the dark tools like klein tools
Great video.
They're glass filled nylon....👍
I use the longer knipex duckbill pliers for pulling gmt fuses. The metal ones, for the record. Fuses can really get stuck in there if they’ve been in there long enough but at least with gmt fuses, which are all plastic aside from the conductors, the duckbill’s don’t mar anything. I used to use just regular needlenose for stuck fuses which mostly worked but occasionally I would pull only half the fuse… so far the duckbill pliers haven’t done that.
Those non conductive needle nose would be nice for reaching into places a nut or washer etc scampered off to and didn’t vaporize… or placing small washers into places your hands aren’t welcome.
"it may work in a pinch" 😆
There are pliers specific to a few fuse types. I use one that is made out of five layers of burnished hardboard alternating layers but is considered non-conductive, rated as high as plastic. The smaller fuses I’ve seen pullers that look like tweezers but with notches to hook the plastic. I used to replace old fuse boxes a lot when doing residential. Thankfully I’ve changed to a more tech role because it’s not fun trying to tear out a box that has six or more conduits connected and then squeezing in a new box and fighting everything the whole way.
I have a question for you.
Amazon has the mid torque Metabo with two batteries, a charger and a case for $399. The same set is $839 at Lowe’s.
How can Amazon sell it for less than half of the price at Lowe’s?
Assuming exactly the same,, and Lowes is MSRP, with Amazon, my first question is it real? Second is it new? Third, is it a reputable seller (what else do they sell)? 4) US-based seller? 5) Shipping time realistic? and 6) how does Amazon compare to other online sellers. Sometimes the big boxes are the highest, with a pile of other online retailers in the middle, and Amazon for the win. But then the reseller on Amazon is also a Big Box store.
@@lastbesttool Even Acme is $399.
Doc...you buy such beautiful tools that are often a joy to use and feel because of their quality. In this video you hold onto a 5w automotive led that is usually used as a "parker light" the first click when you turn on your headlights. Not you main or high beam. But that particular one is a VERY cheap and nasty chinese led that is VERY unreliable, eben new 4/10 wont work and of the 6 that do 3 or 4 will flicker. Please dont use them in your car, they are sold for like 10 for $1.50 delivered. They are god awful led's that simply should'nt even be made they are THAT bad. U probably know this but...
Those are likely going to be used as clearance lights under red and amber housing on campers. I don’t have a supply of the good stuff.
Do you have a fairly affordable torque wrench that you would recommend?
What socket size and torque range do you need?
@@lastbesttool Either 3/8 or 1/2 with enough torque to handle DIY work on vehicles.
Forgot to ask, digital or mechanical?
@@lastbesttool I’m going to say mechanical because the digital seem pretty expensive regardless of brand.
@@lastbesttool I’ve heard good things about Tekton sockets, but the reviews on their torque wrenches are not great.
👍 KNIPEX
This guy sounds like the singer Meatloaf 😮

You'd think that these would be coated metal

You sound like Joe Rogan😅

It's actually pronounced can nip ex. Like nipple not knife. Thanks for sharing though.
Exactly, knipex (unlike knife or know) is a german name and not an english word
