Knipex 5" Piler Wrench

[Farmall 1066]

Put in a last minute order at HJE today for some gift tools. Since I already have the 7" and 10" versions, I decided to round out the set and added the 5" to my order.

I use the ones I have a lot, but wonder how much I'll use the 5".

Anybody have this one?

I have the 6". Keep it in the leg pocket of my Carhartts and use it daily. Every situation where you'd break out a leatherman and know that you shouldn't be turning a bolt with pliers it's a lifesaver. They also grip REALLY well when needing to hold or pull on something.

I have one, it's really small. Almost comically small. I use it to close up Panduit phone jacks.

How come it's so expensive?
35 €
For 5 € more you can get the 250 mm version

I pocket carry a pair of the 5" Cobra pliers and I use them constantly. Handy as a knife. They work excellently for grabbing round, square and hexagon objects. Their capabilities far exceed what you'd think they should be able to do. I've often wondered if the plierwrench version is even handier. Maybe you should send them to me and I'll put them through their paces then return them. Promise.

I have the 6" version.... Love them. As last year, I am hoping Santa brings me the larger sizes or some Amazon gift cards, and I'll get them myself

Got them Monday. They are tiny, for sure. Think they'll go in with my 1/4" set.
