You should check out Tsunoda if you haven't. Even cheaper than Fujiya but still great quality.
Yes I have I will be mentioning them in next week's video as well
Agreed
yeah im using fujiya pliers still sharp..
I have several size Cobras, the diagonal cutters, and the hose clamp pincher pliers from Knipex. The quality is top notch. Don't have any Fujiya. I do have the Engineer brand of screw extractor pliers. Word is Engineer (also made in Japan) actually makes the Vamplier screw extractor pliers. They work great also as you know.
Very nice. Great choices and yes engineer makes the vampliers. Engineer pliers are a little cheaper but don't carry a warranty like the vampliers
They are the same. The extra or added cost is just for the "warranty" thing. Japanese already charged in advance for the repairs or replacement. It's just like you're paying an extra cost for the insurance.
Love my Knipex Cobra’s, I also have some Tsunoda 8” needle nose,
8” Duck Bill, and 5” flush cut zip tie cutters. LOVE the Tsunoda pliers too, but haven’t tried the Fujiya yet.
TONY - Another great video! Given me some things to consider - yet, the Knipex are GREAT tools! Still I may try some others you pointed out here.
Thank you and I'm glad you enjoyed. Thanks for watching 👍
Love the knipex line, and my Vampliers are awesome
Great to hear. I agree. 👍
THANX. That was very helpful. Was building some power supplies and wanted to pick up some new cutters for the 18 gauge and finer wires (lot of miles with small cutters working on sub and ship circuits, so appreciate dependability).
Too many decades (beyond mere years) in to remember what brands we used in the electronics shops, but they gave us good mileage, whatever if was SAM bought us.
P.S. Have a drawer full of Knipex tools I value enough to include them in a manual I'm assembling for my wife, in event of my demise, so some ass doesn't convince her fifty cents is a good deal on that caliper/plier/. . . ., for her.
good comparison. Have not seen any Fujiya pliesrs in my area yet, Knipex are at menards and on the tool trucks. I watch a Radio Tech from Germany on you tube and all his pliers appear to be knipex his shop is very well equiped with top grade equipment. Keep the videos coming.
Very nice. Ya I don't think you will find any fujiya in stores. I always look at the knipex when I go to menards
The vamplier linesmen pliers are made in Japan, and they are bad ass! Thanks.
Agreed 👍
Cool which brand (long nose) when you close the jaws has no gap, the jaws are parallel and which can be used to bend quite thick aluminum or quite thick wires (not crazy thick but quite thick)?
God bless.
I have a set of Craftsman box end wrenches that are made in Japan. 1970's. Also a Craftsman needle nose pliers made in France.
Very nice that's awesome
I've been using Knipex since they came out with the pliers wrench in 2007. They have changed the design of this particular tool at least 3 times. The original 2007 version had the best fit and finish. The second pair I bought was the same functionally but extremely poor fit and finish relatively. The 3rd pair and the one they put out now has a wider jaw opening so some added functionality but still lags the first pair in fit and finish but well above the second pair. The 10 inch is the sweet spot in my opinion and has the most crush force for some reason. I use them for bending sheet metal and making wire crimps among other things.
Very nice good to know. I don't think I've seen any of bad quality.
Journeyman electrician here: So would you recommend overall the Knipex linemans pliers, or the Fujiya?
That black pliers wrench is like $65 but I bought the same tool in the Napa Carlyle brand for $22 on sale with free shipping. I haven’t put my hands on the Fujiya pair but they sure look the same.
I need a pair of flush cuts, i might have to go with Fujiya brand
Oh my gosh my guy it’s pronounced “knee-pex” not “k-ni-pex” but good review being a lineman Klein or Knipex is the way to go but I’m now learning they’re are many top brands served in other countries
Lol wrong ruclips.net/video/Jg38fvLR6-k/видео.html
Thank you though. Glad you enjoyed and completely agree, alot of good brands from other countries 👍
Great video as always Tony. Knipex are outstanding! I also like Tsunoda pliers for the price
Thank you. Very nice.
If you think Fugiya pliers are great, check out VICTOR PLUS! They are also made in Japan 🇯🇵.
Aren't Victor PLUS+ just the premium Fujiya line ? As in, rebranded Fujiya's, with little design changes (like Nepros are for KTC, Lexus for Toyota, Infiniti for Nissan - and so on ?)
🇩🇪 =🇯🇵 love them both have u tried Japanese pliers from Nile merry tools they have a store on line in the USA thanks for the great vid Tony keep up the good work I enjoy your vids 👍🏻😈👍🏻🥃
Very nice. No I have not but that's awesome. I'll have to check it out. Thanks for sharing
Could you review slip joints? Seems to have fallen out of favor but I still reach for them for all sorts of reasons. But, I'm in the market for some good ones.
Yes indeed. I can do an update. I have done it before. I have channellock, snap on, tekton and SK.
On the general subject of Japanese tools, have you had any experience of Ko-Ken sockets and ratchets? I got some 1/4" and 3/8" sets this year, and the ratchets are probably the smoothest I've ever used, despite having low tooth counts - this is apparently because of their pawl design. Check 'em out if you get the opportunity!
Ya I have looked at them a bit and heard alot of great things but haven't purchased any yet
@@TonyTheTechnician Those ratchets are hard to beat, seriously. Lots of people rave about the Zeal sockets too, but I don't have any of those yet, I just have their standard ranges.
Knipex has the best line of pliers hands down
👍👍👍
i like both , but since im from austria (germanys neigbor country) its a lot more economical to buy knipex like 19€for 125 cobras and so on👌🤣
Nothing wrong with that lol. I love my knipex stuff
I feel old -- I can remember when you hadn't tried Knipex yet :-)
Hahaha ya I know right. I haven't heard from you in awhile
Hey Tony. What are the differences between the Fujiya Lineman’s pliers 3000N vs 3300N?
I believe they have different length cutters and the teeth may be different
I. Wish knipex has a black out tools
That coating is most likely black phosphate. It's a similar coating in nature to black oxide - neither is inherently rust resistant, as neither constitutes a sacrificial coating nor a water barrier. However, both offer rust resistance via a porous surface that can retain oil, which does form a water barrier. Black phosphate is a higher performing coating, because it is thicker and can retain oil better (generally speaking). So, while it may feel worse, it's better for longevity than black oxide.
Chrome plating (as you see on most tools) is even better, but will stop working on any working faces as it wears off. Oil your tools!
I am here because I am trying to avoid Chinese made products (Communist China is seriously sanctioning my country, Australia, and I am boycotting their products).
I appreciate this informative video and am happy to spend a little more for a quality Japanese or German product.
I wondering if you have experience or opinions on Vampliers or Engineer brand pliers?
I have 3 sets and they have been great. I have the vampliers but if you are interested buy the engineer they are cheaper and the same Tool. Engineer is the actual one who makes them. Vampliers is just the us based seller of them and your paying extra for like a 3 year warranty.
some Knipex stuff is made outside Germany, not sure each single ones but i know their shear and some old style wire strippers are made in Italy
All top models Knipex crimping pliers are made by Rennsteig.
@@dusanmilojevic3017 do they make the preci strip too?
@@dusanmilojevic3017 Really interesting, can you point out the information source ?
@TonyTheTechnician I like the Knipex the best but i would rather Tekton pliers if i cant have Knipex
Great choice as well 👍
@@TonyTheTechnician yeah i mean cant go wrong with made in the USA ;)
@@TonyTheTechnician LOL Your killing me brother your just killing me LOL you gotta do that drawing video on the Teslong :P lol
@@PHG_Viking_Wolf73 lol beginning of next week
I need to get those long reach knipex. I just returned a Mac set today, total garbage.
Ya I had some neiko ones and I was told they were as bad as the Mac ones lol. I love the knipex ones
@tonythetechnition what do you think about the tekton torue wrenches?
They are good. Nothing special just the generic design. But they have worked well. Hopefully soon they will come out with a better design.
Because i just need the for torqueing cassettes and freewheels on bike which is 40nm
Ya the tekton torque wrenches will do good
Stopped buying klein pliers as an electrician they were not holding up switched to knipex much better I also have sk's ideal pliers for small engine and auto repair they aren't horrible
Very nice. Thanks for sharing your experience 👍
I'm unimpressed with Knipex now, I buy new ones that aren't as sharp as my old damaged ones
maruto is better for Japanese brand
I thought the k was silent 🤫 🤔
Lol no
It is semi silent. You make the k sound at the back of your tongue.
Japanese tools more fantastic for me
Tsunoda pliers are way better than knipex.
