I know that some members here are getting some screaming deals on Knipex pliers at Lowes lately. Some are buying extras as gifts, some are buying extras just because of the insanely good deals.

Now, I was wondering if we can start a Knipex swap thread. I know that Zkling needs a pair of their mini bolt cutters, and I could use some Aliigators or Cobras.

Let's see what we can do here. :beer:

I have an extra 5pc set I could trade. I could use a pair of the cable cutters, alligators or cobras, really anything but another 5pc.

I have several 8" Combination Pliers that I can trade. I also have some other stuff from Lowes, as well as Craftsman USA impact sockets (Metric deep and SAE standard).

I could use a pair of the cable cutters, mini-bolt cutters, alligators or cobras, needle nose, the 5-piece set, or others.

PM me whatever you have to trade, please.

I have a 5-piece set that I would trade for 10" & 12" Cobras (one of each, or two of the same). I also have an extra pair of 8" pliers that I'd throw in for a third item...or trade seperate for something else I don't already have. Just let me know!

I have a pair of 7" & 12" Cobras, two 10" Cobras, five 10" Alligators and five 8" combination pliers. I also have a few Channellock 369s. I'm looking for a pair of 7" & 12" Alligators (I don't think Lowe's sold the 12") and the mini bolt cutters. PM me if you are interested in a swap.

I might be interested in buying some stuff if you guys end up not trading. Send me a PM if you're willing to sell something, thanks.

I'm potentially interested in a pair of mini bolt cutters if someone is willing to pass on the savings. I have a few pairs of 8" combo pliers.

Well. Thanks Tweedlestan for thinking of me. :beer:

After reading this thread, it looks like the mini bolt cutters (listed on Lowes as "wire strippers") are the hot ticket and the general 8" pliers are pretty common.

Is anyone in the Wichita KS area 67209 ? If so the Lowes there has 2 pairs of mini bolt cutters for $1.15 EACH :drool: If someone was willing to pick me up a pair I will pay for yours, mine and shipping. Or I will take both of you don't want one of them and you find yourself at Lowes in the near future ;). It is for my personal use no flipping BS. :beer:

O, and they have a few pairs of the 8" pliers for $1.04 each :eek: I'd take a pair or two of those as well. :p

I have called there twice and had 2 different people look for them, both could not find them. They did find 4 pairs of the 8" pliers.
