Bought this set and absolutely love them. Although, the first use, I dropped them from waist height and broke the locking button. So now I have to hold them closed with a Velcro strap.

Anyone else wanna see Doc's entire Knipex collection?

[@rdarr40]

FYI: The crimper is for ferrules. It is not designed for insulated terminals.

[@scotts4125]

Are those used mostly in Europe? I actually have an entire ferrule kit a couple years old and have never used it.

[@GeorgeAdams]

They’re not required by code, but they help in situations where you have screw terminals. For example, I have a 13.8V power supply with screw terminals so I put ferrules on the end.

[@MORGANSMaintenance]

I like these much better than the standard ones… comfort level is top notch 👍👍

[@MikeyFFA500]

I got them as soon as they became available in Canada and love them!

[@NPOAfterMidnight-ft9zj]

I do love these shears. Very sharp and fits beautifully in the hand. Great as a "general use" pair of shears for cutting the occasional wire, packaging, or tape, but I would use the more refined and task-specific cutters and crimpers when needed. Still very handy to have on you though.

[@Sylvan_dB]

Some real thought went into those Knipix pistol grip shears. Looks good!

[@nachoisme]

I think these are awesome. Have a similar set from Vampliers I think but I rarely use them. I always have either diagonal cutters or my forged Knipex wire strippers on me. I haven’t found a use to have these close to me.

For crimping, I have one of those 5-jaws ratcheting Knipex crimpers, which work the best of my various (that is, too many) crimping tools. However, one of the jaws was messed up - either by me the very first time I used them, or when I got them. I went online, sent the jaws back, and Knipex sent me an entirely new tool; so now I have two crimpers and 9 sets of jaws, which I keep loaded with the two sets I use the most.

Thanks, Doc.

[@elizabeththompson4424]

the crimper is for non-insulated ground wire crimps
for the insulated stuff I prefer a dedicated tool

[@fuloplehel]

I have the older version of the knipex pistol grip shears with a smaller handle, but it comes with a plastic sheat and clip. The crimper is designed for ferrules only not for insulated ones,and it works fine. But I am using the right tool for the job, not this scissors.

[@user-rf4wz3dr9u]

both crimpers you got there is for ferrules, but they are not great for that either.

[@markpinther9296]

Hahaha! Leave those two alone long enough and bam! New tool.

[@coffeefish]

I hear that rubber overlay (on the grips) disintegrates over time. I'd be more inclined to buy a pair if I knew the grip would last a long time.

[@avernvrey7422]

Insulated vs non-insulated crimp. Tool looks like it's for non-insulated.

When #is the crimper

[@dougr.6734]

Hey Doc, do these companies send you these tools for honest reviews or do you purchase them for your tool collection? Just curious. Thanks!

[@lastbesttool]

95% of everything on this channel I buy on my own. The exceptions include Olight stuff, some knives and flashlights and a few other odds and ends. No Knipex unfortunately.

[@dougr.6734]

10-4. Thanks for the reply. Enjoying the channel very much. Keep it up! @@lastbesttool

[@michaelthompson7570]

If it would strip……

[@pzwolski]

I am not convinced to buy this tool. Sorry.

[@Jerkasaur]

He isn’t selling, why apologize?

[@coffeefish]

Not sure about that butyl rubber overlay on the grip.

[@pzwolski]

@@Jerkasaur 'Sorry Knipex' rather than 'Sorry Doc'. 😄
