Questions & Answers

It will it cut chain links that are 9 gauge?

Those who are in a hurry can rely on them. Chain link is almost never hardened, but fence cutters can give you an extra advantage in cutting chain link, and you'd be better off with harder cutters if you plan As an alternative, 10" dikes might be a good choice.

Despite being great, cobras are not as good as linemen
3/5

As an electrician, I have the following skills You might work in the commercial field and in the industrial sector. The linemen I was using had just walked off a job, and I was planning on getting a better set. The Knipex & Co. are wonderful products, I've heard great things about them What can be wrong with loving the Cobras? linemen work perfectly right out of the box, no break in period, they cut extremely well, and the knurl on the tip is very aggressive. I was able to cut through 12-inch pipe without any problems. I was able to handle 3 steel MC cables much easier than I did with my previous In terms of durability, how would you describe it? A lackluster performance. It has been almost exactly a year since I purchased this set, and I am in need of a new one. As a result, the knives have worn and chipped off over time, making it difficult for them to cut normal 12-inch products There are 2 MC in this list. Moreover, I did not abuse this tool in any way. For the job it was rated to do, I used it. In retrospect, I would not use this tool to cut down screws, nails, and other hard materials. They are also not very good at reeming conduit, my pair developed grooves in the head over time. For the price, I recommend looking I had dark blue Kleins in the past, and when they got stolen, they didn't even have a roll on them before they were stolen. And this couldn't even last a year. It's a real disappointment. Even though I enjoy playing for the Cobras, I'll go back to Klein for my next lineman season.

The best pliers you will find
5/5

The other day I decided I needed something that would last instead of Lowe Depot's consumer quality tools, and Knipex was recommended. My toolkit is now made with a handful of tools from them, and I am extremely satisfied with both the workmanship and the quality. It is very tight when the teeth are closed and there is no movement on the sides of the mouth. It is also more comfortable to use the comfort grip handles instead of the regular rubber coated handles because they fit my hands better and make them more comfortable. The steel used in the pliers themselves, coupled with that, means that I can see myself using these for quite some time.

A heavy-duty vehicle The teeth are shaped like a cross hatch and offer high leverage
5/5

It can be hard to comment on something which has so many positive reviews, but I will attempt to do so. There is no doubt that these are the best lineman's However, where does Klein stand? Although Knipex heat treatment and fit-and-finish are still on the top tier of industrial use products, Klein pliers are by far my favorite The quality of the product and finish should be excellent. The Made-in-USA quality adds a lot to the value This factor of Gucci cannot be underestimated in Germany. As a result, the grips are extremely comfortable, and they should stand up to the chemical exposure common in workshops and on work sites. As if by magic, the highly leveraged cutting edges whittle away at Romex with ease. There is a cross in the cross Hold on tightly with the gripping teeth that are hatched. It is also worthwhile to mention that my pair can be popped open easily without requiring any oil or break-in time This is the beginning of the In an effort to honor my father, who has always appreciated the value of good tools as much as I do, I purchased this pair. When it comes to heavy duty pliers that last longer and work better, Knipex is my recommendation if you can afford its high price. It may be that I've purchased about ten Knipex products and never regretted a single one.

Its supposed to last the rest of our lives, but we have to purchase 1 in our lifetime
5/5

The smallest number. Apparently, Knipex works. The smallest number. Regardless of the path you choose, Knipex will not let you down You can spend the money without worrying about the consequences. Spending your money on any other brand is a waste. It looks like these pliers have been built like tanks. I would be devastated if they did not last the rest of my lifetime. When I abused them beyond what they were designed for, I did so in a malicious way. It's just as good as it gets.

Klein's level of proficiency is comparable
5/5

In terms of side cutters, Klein is on par with these. The Knipex is comparable to the journeyman series of cheap Kleins, even though I've had Cheap Kleins that were way worse. I have been using these bad boys for half a year now, and they have never changed! Made well, it cuts very well, and it works like a hammer too! The color of the jeans wasn't liked by a coworker because they were lighter than Klein's. I don't see why that would be a problem, but just thought I would make sure everyone was aware.

It's so nice
5/5

It's so very, very nice. The electrician in me is a professional. I have been in this field since Kleins is one of my favorite brands. The answer is yes. The diagonal cutters and screwdrivers, however, are beyond Klein (sorry, still love the tool). Until I blew up my last pair like an idiot, my previous pair never dulled over three years. The design has been improved by Knipex though, so it's definitely worth it. It seemed at first like they might be a bit stiff out of the package, but after an hour of use they opened smoothly. These cannot, by the way, be dullened).

This is awesome! The experience will not disappoint you! I used Klein linesman pliers for all of my professional life and decided to try these after a friend recommended them to me
5/5

It seems that these pliers are superior to any other set I have tried! They feel wonderful, and I didn't have to break them in like I have with every pair of kleins I've ever owned! I think they are the best linesman pliers I've ever had. They cut great and are comfortable in my hand! We'll have to see how they hold up over time, but right now they are the best!.

TOOL DENIED BY THE BEST ELECTRICIANS ON EARTH
5/5

Electricians need this tool more than anything else! This is the best pair of pliers I have ever purchased in 22 years of working in this field. Since the rivet is closer to the blades, MC or BX cable can be cut by 66% more easily. The only thing I'd change is if they were cheaper, but we still get a lot out of them.
