- 56749, These are Harbor Freight's Doyle Knipex Style Adjustable pliers. they are pretty well made and are a nice complement to channel lock's. I think they are a newer design the the old tongue and groove pliers but I would have both styles.
Dyole. Wow. So happy to finally find a Dyole review.
I live in Mpls, with all of this rioting and looting going on at 3 a m, I needed a break. Thanks Catus.
Be safe! I am sure george floyd wouldn't want people to be rioting. People can be animals. At the end of the end its thier community they are rioting and that's sad
Wow, lmao cant even watch a video about tools without someone bringing up that drama....
Crazy sh!t going on there. I have met the cop that started all this, his wife was a good friend of mine before they married...just blows my mind.
When I purchase any of my German pliers, their warranty seldom comes to mind. I’m pretty confident that I’ll never need to use it. Same with Channelock pliers. Good vid 👍
Yeah if anyone finds some way to break channel locks they're the issue.
I've never ever had to explain any of my broken tools to harbor freight best warranty for sure...
Love your videos. Great to see this style of plier becoming more popular. Have a set of Knipex cobras and love them for removing completely stripped or damaged bolts.
Would love to see a video on the Knipex Cobra-matic or even the quickset cobras!
Good review! I have the 10 in. Doyle pliers and I'm considering adding the 12 in. to my tools.
I use those in tandem with my 10-in knipex Cobra pliers when breaking gas unions loose. I haven't needed a pipe wrench in a long time.
If I had one of those neat little saws, I would be buying more plastic sealed tools just to use it.
i had a few different tongue and groove pliers wear down so bad they end up slipping past the groove. yelch, went to a set of cobras and never looked back. Durability, range, and speed of adjustment more than makes up for the low travel.
I love the 8” version and grabbed it with the recent 30% off. I hope harbor freight makes more knipex clones because even if they are only capable of 70-80% of what knipex are at 50% cost, it’s worth it for me as someone who doesn’t make money from their tools
doesn't look like too bad of a Knipex clone. Too bad harbor Freight didn't come out with a very handy 5-6 inch long version. thanks for sharing!!!
Rather than join the Channellock haters in saying (prove-ably) negative things about the outdated design I was raised on, I'll restrict myself to saying positive things about the successor I embraced in my "senior years." I can't imagine a circumstance where I'd prefer the old design, with the possible exception of being able to find a Channellock pliers more giant than the biggest Cobra-style pliers. Since I buy tools for life, it's rarely the case that a low price will be my justification for choosing the lesser design.
One thing you missed, Catus, is that Cobra-style pliers tend to have narrower jaws than their tongue-in-groove counterparts. IF one buys a Cobra-style that has great steel (as all the Knipex pliers do), then the narrowness of the jaws is all upside. (1) You can maneuver into tighter places and (2) for a given amount of force, the bearing pressure will be greater, because the jaw contact area is smaller. Greater bearing pressure translates to better grip, obviously.
As for breaking or bending Knipex products that are being properly used, I have never come close. It would be worthwhile to measure Doyle's strength in a head-to-head comparison. The person doing the test would want to torque the fastener under test to some very high value, and then measure handle deflection and hand-to-handle pressure required to break the fastener loose. Since the Doyle's seem like a faithful copy (visually), and since they're made in Taiwan (typically a cut above that which is made in mainland China), I would not be at all surprised if scientific testing demonstrated the Doyle's are a great money-saving alternative to the hallowed Knipex pliers. Another test (which might favor the Knipex Cobra) would be a corrosion test. But that result wouldn't apply to me because I take good care of my tools. They're given no opportunity to fall victim to Maui's rusty climate.
Hi HF is coming out with a warrior version of your slicer there
How has the heat treat of the jaws held up? Jaw wear is probably not warranted. Thanks
Hahaha I need that package cutter!!
Look for a multi cutter. Many companies make them, including Skill as shown in this video. I like Makita, so...

I'd like to see the smooth jaw parallel pliers come out. Knipex's are STEEP.
Knipex is affordable for REAL professional grade. china can't leave anything alone without ripping them off
Get the 10” to start you won’t regret it, think they’re around 40$ on amazon
Knipex pliers wrench is my favorite tool to use.
Ya Knipex's are steep but man are they Great! It took me several months of looking at the 7" pliers wrench every time I went to Menards and when it went on sale for $46.99 I finally broke down and bought it. That was over a year ago and I already had a nice copy of the cobra pliers but that smooth parallel jaw got me and Man was it worth it! Love it so much went out and bought the 7" cobra pliers to match. Now I will say I also have a couple of pairs of the Irwin smooth jaw parallel pliers that came out recently that I assume are copies of the Knipex, and they work well but arent as quality as the Knipex so the Irwins are there for my crew to use as the design is handy for the work we do but the Knipex are in my personal tool bag.
Give it up you said it correctly once
I was going to get them because they look cool, but in reality when I need pliers for other than testing ball joint, it's because y can't really fit my hand and I can engage from a distance , having a button near the head is inconvenient for me since I usually adjust my pliers from a distance with the handles, and that is what stop me from buying these cool pliers
Knipex has a quick-adjust version that doesn't have the button. Downside is they are pricey. Upside is you probably will never have to buy another pair again.
Knipex is pronounced - Kuh Nee Pex... basically saying Knee as if the K isnt silent. Kaneepex.
Actually his pronunciation is fairly good. The k shouldn't be silent, but other than that it's fine
@@MussDasSinnErgeben Its not Ka Nip ex. Its Ka Nee Pex.
@@eliteexposure5594 I know Wikipedia is a shitty source, but on the english Knipex page it's written in IPA as ˈknɪpɛks (go put it in an IPA-reader, it's like k-nip-ex) and more importantly that's the only way I've ever heard people say it here in Germany
@@MussDasSinnErgeben I will go with the German pronunciation. :)
Ny-Pex, Nip-Ex, Kuh-Nip-Ex, k-NEE-pex, KUH-me-pex it don't matter it’s a decent tool, designed well and works very well. Particularly ironic for a company known for great quality control that people still say the name however they want and correct others when it's slightly different in pronunciation. People need to adjust to that difference just like the pliers :)
I believe the actual Knipex pliers have a longer jaw opening for the same length of pliers than the copies, is that true?
I hate Channel Lock pliers the only thing they are good at is pinching your finger in between the handles. Blood blisters
Looks suspiciously like knipex cobras.
My dumbass paid 40 for the Mac rebrand of those same channel locks
For almost same price you can get the real thing
Let's hope that be a pat pend that gets them sued with that teach them a lesson once and for all . With the knipex cobra weakest link is it's strongest selling point with Harbor freight most deffently at push button break easiser
I think I read the Knipex patent ran out.
Patents only last 20 years it's a really short amount Of time. a copyright can last beyond your lifetime but not patents on physical items
Yay let's promote more china made stuff.they don't have enough of our money.
Taiwan actually. They are our allies.
Doyle stuff is primarily made in Taiwan
@@feyrband why even bother when channel lock is USA made for similar price?
I wanna see a review of the Proto push-button pump pliers, but they're even more expensive than Knipex so I'm not willing to try!
