Knipex Welding Pliers

[Adam McLaughlin]

Hi Everyone

Anyone know if Knipex sells a set of Mig welder's pliers? Looked over the web site, don't see anything that jumps out at me.

The forney editions are JUNK

I don't think so i really wish they did. Channellock does makes a set.

My Jap made weepers work fine for my chicken shitten.

I don't see buying high quality, expensive tools for the welding cart.

I agree. My HF mig pliers do their job. They just get abused and banged up over time. I dont see paying $50-$60 for them to be a smart thing.

Channellocks as mentioned above. Price is not bad, quality and fit is WAY better than HF/China ****.

What feature of mig pliers do you need the most? To me, "mig pliers" always seemed like a unnecessary tool. I just use my pair of craftsman needle nose with built in wire cutter.

Serrated outer edges for cleaning nozzle, round insert for removing/installing tips, not wasting a pair of needlenose.

They are just nice because u can clean and remove the cone. Remove the tip. And trim your wire all with one tool. No need to have 4 tools on your welder.

Aw come on guys, we're on this forum because we love tools!

Who asked about buying high end stuff for the welding cart??
( looks around )

I am a firm believe in buying the good stuff so you only have to buy it once.....

To each their own. As you probably know the industry standard is Welpers. YS-50 or something like that. IIRC they are Japan made. I'm sure the Channellock ones are nice and USA made.

Too bad Snap on doesn't make a pair.

P.S. How is your syncrowave doing?
