Knipex adjustable wrench plier

[SlimChance]

Looking to purchase some new adjustable wrenches and stumble upon these on an online search. Does anyone have a set? I have the knipex cobras and pipe wrench both very solid products that I use daily. Not to sure about these plier wrench. Anyone have experience with these tools?

They are great for a lot of different uses. I use mine for everything from plumbing fixtures (doesn't scratch the chrome) to keeping a pair near the lawnmowers downstairs. I use the smaller ones more than the large set though as they can handle most bolt heads up to 1/2"/12mm without much trouble unless they are really torqued tight.

Most of the guys in this area using them are motorcycle techs and plumbers athough I never have figured why more people don't have them

They are actually mostly better than an adjustable because you can control the pressure on the moving jaw on the fastener which eliminates spreading.

I have three different sizes and I love them. I use them for all kinds of things, not just mechanical stuff. They've worked on plumbing and other misc. around-the-house stuff too. I would definitely recommend them if you like the Cobras. Everyone should own these.

I bought a set of three, use the big one most as a crimper, squisher thing. I don't tend to use an adjustable on anything I have a wrench that fits on.

Thanks for the input. I've just placed an order online for the set.

Yep, love them for all the reasons above. I rarely use my adjastables now.
