Does anyone else (besides Knipex) make a combination needle nose pliers?

[Macchina]

I find myself switching from using Multi tools for small repairs to small tool kits which replicate a multi tool's function but with multiple separate tools.

I have 2 such kits and they have to Knipex combination pliers:

These are excellent tools that allow me to cut, to plier, and also to turn small nuts and bolts. They however are not needle nose pliers. In an attempt to find the perfect plier I am looking for options of needle nose pliers that add both a cutter and a nut turning tooth section.
Knipex offers the Combination Needle Nose, but I’m wondering if there are any other options out there:

Channellock E338 8” needlenose pliers with cutters and “nut turning thing”

I think the E338 is a diagonal cutter...

Those Channelock E318's are nice!

Wouldn't mind having a pair of those.


Also you could look/search the Tsunoda site. They also produce excellent pliers for just about any type-feature-need, etc.

Channelock makes an 8" version. You just have to look for the one with the pipe jaw and cutters incorporated.

I have them.. dunno what else to say other than - they are needle nose pliers.

Oh baby! These NWS pliers at exactly what I was looking for! They even have 2 different nut thingies!

You may also be able to find the NWS made Irwin branded needle nose pliers: 1902417 (6") or 1902418 (8").

It looks like you might want something smaller, but if you can accommodate the size you won’t do better than Orbis Evotel.



I keep a small toolkit in an L-BOXX mini. The three pliers in it are a dipped handle EvoTel, 125mm pliers wrench, and 125mm Stahlwille waterpump pliers. I normally don’t like dipped handles, but they do markedly improve portability. I bought the little Knipex sharp combi in your first post for this kit, but EvoTel is so much more useful that it is worth the space.

Here's a picture I took of several of the pliers mentioned along with a super tool 300. I have not used either of the nws pliers and cannot really comment on their performance other than I prefer the smaller, closer together handles over the 196ancf. The Snap-on pliers are great, but the handles are a bit far apart for my hands and the pliers can feel a little cumbersome at times. It's kind of hard to compare the Knipex to the other ones since the jaws are so much shorter. That's not always a bad thing since I do think they offer more control when working with small stuff. They just don't really have the reach your typical long nose plier will have.

I have those ones... and I use them for everything. They really grab stuff, and I've put them through a lot. Not afraid of breaking them at all, the tips don't seem to deform even with extreme use. So I use them hard, figure if I can somehow wear them out or break them will be an easy warranty swap on the truck.

They absolutely shine when removing cotter pins to get hubs off to replace wheel bearings. Bend the ends of the pins back to somewhat of a straight line, work them up, then catch the end of the pin in the cutter portion of the jaw and use the tips for leverage.

I've had Channelock E318's for years. No issues.

Irwin also has some bent or 90 degree pliers they call lineman pliers that are made by NWS. No idea why call em that - they are needle nose. What’s nice with those, (if you dont mind the bent part) is they are spring loaded, and lock closed when not in use.. i have them also.

They have wire strippers, cutters too i think.. i cant rem if they have that nut holder thing.. theyre downstairs somewhere.

NWS Ergomulti isn’t as stout it useful as Orbis EvoTel (I own both). By contrast, I think NWS’s bent combi, ErgoCombi, is a little better than Orbis’s EvoPlus. They’re about equally sturdy and useful, but ErgoCombi’s spring loading is helpful.
