Knipex 86 05 180 Pliers Wrench

Pliers wrench is probably going to be my #1 recommendation, as its a pretty unique tool. And I personally believe they're worth the price, especially if you can find them on sale. I haven't been disappointed with any of my knipex purchases thus far.

At the price these go for, I was really expecting perfection. These are excellent tools and they're super handy. Being able to grab onto something with parallel jaws makes for a much stronger grip. With a bit a of practice I've learned to grab onto a nut and quickly make multiple turns without havin...

First off, this tool is very well made with quality material as you would expect of a German made tool. But I could not find that it was better than the tools it was meant to replace i.e. channel locks and adjustable wrench. It is a bit difficult to adjust to the proper size needed and there is very...

A unique design. Because of the double lever, these pliers provide significant torque for hand pliers. However, while they work well for low and medium torqued nuts, it performed worse on a ceased nut where a fixed size wrench started to round off the nut. I had high hopes that these pliers could he...

I gave this 4 instead of 5 stars because the box it came is open. My friend bought one and his box wasn't open. Other than that, the tool as you can see doesn't look like it has been used. I don't see any wear marks or stains on the handle. You can see the oil on the tool. I am still going to do a r...

The multi component handle wrench was a dud. It couldn’t adjust the opening of the jaws. Literally had to push the button with all mg might and pull for it to adjust. Returned it for the regular dipped handle like all my other knipex tools. Best hand tools hands down. Buy once and cry once cause the...

What a beautiful tool! This is one of those tools you want to use so much that you go looking for things to grip and turn. Much more refined than a vise-grip and more precise than a crescent wrench. It's beautifully finished and machined. This tool is actually 185mm (7.5") long. You adjust the posit...

I really like Knipex. I don't think anyone else makes a product just like this...these are unique. So what is it? This is not some channellock type tool. Channellock pliers change the angle of the pliers as you adjust them. Channellocks have aggressive teeth that dig into a fastener and damage them....

This tool has the most gripping power of any pliers of its size I have ever seen. They've got some magic pivot working here. I was not impressed until I tried it. The jaws are smooth, so they don't mess up your work. Since the amount of gripping force is so high, like 11:1, you don't need serrations...

These have become my favorite adjustable wrench. Small enough to get in everywhere a traditional crescent can, but because you can squeeze it with leverage you are MUCH less prone to round off your nut/bolt heads. With a crescent, you adjust it, and then start pulling and once you start torquing you...
