Is that sarcasm I sense? That’s an up charge
@@jimmymaracas6442 Yes it is, we do love our sarcasm in the UK! But that's probably the price, can't have Gucci tool bags and tools for peasant money!
I wish
@@jimmymaracas6442 sarcasm? That's the usual price! Otherwise we'd all have nice boxes and perfect wiring. I'd bet that's the only nice box in that neighborhood or even town.
@@legalize420that's a pretty huge upcharge. I can get that bag and load out for about 1000$ after having paused and thoroughly looked it over. The bag itself is a waste. 310$. Get a good klein backpack for 100$ and it's got an easily redeemable lifetime warranty. As far as tools, I tend to not trust anybody that has only one brand. Usually means they buy because of the name, not because of the quality and fit. That said the 1000v insulated knipex kit is about 400$ from a vendor, 350$ from Amazon. The extras he's got account for the other 300$. The larger knipex channelocks and the specialty stripper for example.
Definitely not 6k$ worth of work. That was done by everyone else on the job before he showed up. Also...that's not a "box" that's a small controls cabinet. Not something in most people's houses. Not even in most businesses. Usually industrial, schools, or hospitals...because they're kind of a waste of money required by the government.
The winking let's me know I'm in safe hands 😊
😂😂👍🏻
Product code number?
Yeah that part.
Almost perfect. Needs a 3.5mm & 4mm screw cutter
Mine does but its non insulated. May be i jave a different model or for some reason the insulated version just doesnt have it
I am waiting for the Rev2 of the 7 in 1 plier. It will have a notch for striping 4 and 6mm CSA conductors.
Throw in loppers for socket screws
Screwing multi-stranded wires without crimping it with solid terminals is... disturbing. Besides, there is a crimper in a toolbag.
Not necessary, in most cases manufacures specifically say to put as is(hager). Ferrules and crimping are only for soft multistrand cables.
Depends on the wire as well as the termination. Crimps are not always required or desired.
Not for class 2 wires, it's not necessary to ferrule them.
@@zaxmaxlaxтак на видео как раз многожильный провод который необходимо обжать.
If the clamp fixes around the stranded wire like a cage then you dont need to crimp. But i prefer crimping.
I love knipex tools. You get what you pay for ❤
👍🏻
Funny thing is they aren‘t even that expensive in germany
Soon Germany won't make anything since the USA and Norway blew up Nordstream.@@willis9757
@@willis9757
They anit cheap in America.
That's why we buy Klien instead.
What knipex tool bag is that ?? 😮 I need one sir @@efixx
I don't think there a bag big enough to carry you around in though 😂
My most used tool in my bag for sure!
Love these. They can even do 25mm tails at a push. Does crush though but 16mm it’s a clean cut.
Best regards,
Scott Liddle.
P. S. Yes please as the trainee mentioned please list all tools for the trainees as that would give a much better idea of what’s needed. And no it’s doesn’t all need to Knipex but I agree Knipex are the best tools I’ve used in electrical and plumbing DiY as I ain’t no pro plumber 😂😂😂
I've done 35mm Tri rated with these
Love ours, use them all the time
Thanks 👍🏻
That wink by Gary lol, very funny
i use the same strip extra, twist, and fold back on alot of light fixtures where i am wire nutting stranded #16 to solid #12. it helps to make sure the stranded and solid wires are making good contact.
I’m from the states and I have a question. I’ve seen in many videos that a stranded wire is terminated with a ferrule. But other times a stranded wire is twisted and bent in half. So how do you decide when a stranded wire should have a ferrule and when it should just be twisted and bent?
There is a German standard which answers some of this. ua-cam.com/video/Ia13o1I6DkM/v-deo.htmlsi=Sova6xyV3pu4sOt0
Solid wire you can just screw down. Fine stranded wire you should use ferrules on most terminal technologies but there are also stiff stranded wires where the law gets a bit vague in most countries. Stiff stranded wire you can get away with twisting and turning over to avoid it untwisting or put a ferrule on it. Ofcourse all depends on your countries laws but for safety thats about it
The service sells itself... quality content 👍
Now I want to know how to maintain these tools, what oil to use, and how frequent, and how to store.
Great pliers.i habe RhE same one and am very happy with it.excellent finish and build quality😊
Best advertisement I’ve ever seen . Actually i hope i see more of these ads
Try cutting the outer sheath off flush to the the entry point of a back box 👀 they’re too long to get in a single or a double box and the shears part is too far back on the pliers 🫣
Which is why you still need all the basic tools but generally carry this one to replace 2-4 other tools. Way less reaching for the pockets (or god bless - the car/backpack/...)
Why, towards the end, one of the line wire tip was redone and doubled up, but the other one wasn't? They looked the same to me... did I miss something?
What about crimping? which is the best most compact, most lightweight, etc, etc.. Which is the best?!
Is knipex like the electrical favorite or best in Europe. Like is that their Klien. Here in the U.S its all klien at least for me and 99 percent of electricians everyone has a couple of klien tools
Yes and far superior to klein , we have both options available in UK everyone uses knipex unless they got the kleins for free or really cheap on a discount
Beautiful backpack.... I wonder...how much would cost filled like that?
What’s with the counter clockwise twists?
I'm in love with that combination
That’s why I carry the Knipex 97 21 215B crimping pliers.
Man here in the States we would never fold our terminations over like that. We would be called hacks
Im from Europa and i did Not understand why this folding ist done.
Increases the surface area for which pressure from the screw, decreases the chances of it snapping - especially with solid core. With stranded we do it because it's all about retention of the strands under screw pressure. Twist and fold makes it impossible to have a rogue conductor.
@@nickthesparkyWhy not just use a ferrule?
Why would you be called a hack?
@despair268 A ferrule on solid core?
Ferrules are for flexible cables. Our stranded has 7 conductors that are much thicker than the cores on a flexible cable. You could in theory use a ferrule but it'd be a waste of time. Just twist and fold
Congrats on the new tools.
Привет, почему ты не используешь шрупеверт?
I want my own set one day, but I’m still just an apprentice, but I I can’t wait til I can afford some. My kleins will have to do for now.
Buy yourself a regular set of snips mate and other tools woth the left over cash
ils sont tres bien les knipex
Love that bag
It's about 200 quid just for the bag lol
Any chance you could list all the tools in the bag please? Trainee here
Idd wait on the knipex tools until your paychecks reflect them. I can appreciate the initiative, though.
Trainee? Please sir how about we step over here and look at our Stanley range?
In all seriousness mate knipex would be a waste of your money. Wait until your 20 years in as your talking about £700 for a full knipex hand tool rigout. For screwdrivers get wera and snips, pliers, crops etc get bahco. Don't buy CK you will be disappointed.
Dint buy bahco snips or pliers , buy knipex snips/side cutters and as long as you don't cut live wires you'll not need to replace them for at least 20 years . For screwdrivers go wiha or wera . For the bag go anything decent under £69 this knipex bag is iver £150 empty if willing to pay that much buy a veto pro pack backpack instead
Wire stripper link plzz
Why twist wire anticlockwise
Get the Parkside 4v screwdriver, I’ve saved hours of pointless unscrewing/screwing with that thing, the old version of it is better, it has a toolbox with, bits, right angle attachments, saw attachments, torque limiters and all. £25 my man, They all just click toghether , even if they doubled the price I would still buy it) knipex charging the same price for their pointless forearm exercising machine (no hate on knipex)
They even do an insulated version (not as good), I have both types they’re so good
😂 no thabks mate ill let the diyers use the DIY lidl tools 😂
no es recomendable doblar las puntas y luego apretarlas porque en dado caso cuando se vaya a retirar el cable la punta doblada se puede expandir en el momento en que se aprieta y Eso provoca que se llegue atascar
Did you not have enough time to install the lugs on the stranded wire?
Hi great video. But it would be better if you used boot lace ferrules on the cable ends.
Thats a good clip for my aprentices… to show them how electrical installation is NOT done…
Greetz from Austria😂
Super set
I also have a similar plier from knipex, but it dosn't do what they promise, for example if you try to Bend over an aluminum sheet less than 1 mm, the plier will dislocate, a cheap needle-nose plier i have always done the job without dislocating it selv in Germany Is it common that in your drywall the studs are Out of alu and as an electrician you have to Bend over the studs on the Flor If you laying Tubes and the knipex Dosnt handle IT 😢 but IS the only plier i have one my belt and ON me all time
according to my teachers in my electrician education damaging the copper like that is a big no no
Where can I get a spanner set for electricity?
Amazon
Need these insulated strippers with AWG stripping gauges or can anyone say they’ve tried it and it doesn’t ruin the conductors
these pliers were the first and only of all my knipex tools to get rusty within a month all the rest are fine really bizzare stuff
Prob not a Knipex then.
There's a carbon steel version with a blue and red handle that will rust
Most I know who bought these went back to just using snips and pliers in 2 days lol waste of money
@@korona3103 blue and red isn't vde and rated to 1000v
@@klarnorbert bought from yes electrical
Why folding the wire end instead of using terminals that actually fit the wire gauge?
The terminal size is set for a wide range of cable or wire cross sectional areas (sizes). By folding over the wire you present more surface area for mechanical and electrical connection. If you had a few wires into the same terminal, you might not need or be able to do it. It’s fairly wide spread practice.
@@andyscott5978 I see, but usually there's only a hand full of appliances that actually need bigger terminal size on a consumer panel. Stuff like water heater, oven/stove, EV charger, etc..
Where I live, we also have terminals that fit a variety of sizes, like from a sectional area up to 4mm^2, and a few that fit bigger sizes like up to 6 or 10mm^2.
That's what I'm used to 😊, nevertheless it's interesting how it is done elsewhere. 👍
@@Helli__ Always interesting to hear how other countries do it. Are you in Australia by any chance?
@@andyscott5978 Germany
He using the correct wire tichness, for example 2.5mm, but those screw terminals are ment for wires that are not made out of individual strands, so usually people krimp those stranded cables to make a good connection. His was seems more as an DIY method then a professional one.
Seem fine for single core, but I wouldn't want to reach for these for stranded.
Nice to bad we couldn't see much of the bag 😆
I have the side cutters with the stripping slots , the 3.5mm screw cutter and grip section for doubling over . I'll stick with them thanks
Such a sweet bag
Are you filming with your bicep!?
The ultimate expensive tool that only if you get sponsored you will have it
Depends if you use them for a job or not, I bought a set of knipex flat faced water pump pliers, put it off for agers. Should have bought them years ago, time saved is money earned
Where do i buy
Want this product tool set from knipex
Nice job thanks 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Why are their tools soo clean
Honestly I've looked at those but I reckon the 13 96 200 are a better buy
I agree especially with the crimp function. ✌️🙏✌️
@@scottl7644got the ones with crimping function and to be honest I’ll still prefer crimping tool
Nice work ❤❤
We do the same in Australia 🇦🇺
It's good to see that even over there, the cover panel holes don't exactly line up with the nutcerts.
same here bro
What’s it called
Do those have the spring internally or no
yes internal spring
Bigger question is do you clean your own mess or leave it as a calling card.
I usually fart so they can estimate when I left
Toolkit price
Does anyone know the part number for these? The wide nose/linesman nose is nice.
What are you talking about? Every electrician already has a hammer and it is indeed the ultimate tool
But can I cut MC with it ? If not lineman pliers are still king 👑
Esa linha é top, sou apaixonado por um kite desse , Aki eu só uso a linha Belzer
In the next to last shot w/ the brown wires, why was the top terminal bad, but the next one OK?
I am not 100% sure, but it seemed that the cable in the first connector didnt seem squised enough, so he made it ticker for a snugg fit. The second one was deformed a bit from the pressure, so he deemed it fine. In my opinion he should have krimped the ends.. or use copper wire that is made out of a single strand.
Looks like ur tools never get used
Only on Fridays
@@efixx jealous 😂
Not bad for a plumber 😂
Back pak name?????
It’s a Knipex Modular X18.
That was a really cool video man. Very clean and professional!
Such small gauge wiring for home use. Is that 14-16ga? Stranded in homes?
stranded is not used here. neither are rings. but 14-16 ga is. that is 1.5 & 2.5mm2. used with 10a and 16a breakers and to be honest 16a at 230v is a lot from generic socket off the wall. could go larger if sustained currents are needed. stranded comes from 10mm2 and up and that is one hell of a cable already. at home at least
Plaer model number please
Bro scuffed up every one of those wires 😂
Not many electricians use or have a Digital caliper in their tool pouch, only pros do 😁💪
How much this set
Can't have it, not available in india 😢
Ahh just like toilet roll huh ?
Sir can you teach me this work ❤
Can I work with 25mm cables with that?
No you'll crush the ends trying to crop them
In America we would call that hillbilly hack work
Loads of money there, 👍🏻
In love with your tools❤
I need that bag 😭😹😹

Why fold back? Is it even necessary?
Stil using old kind of hard wire
Why the shaky hands my friend? 😅
А почему концы нетзагильзрвать и опресовать ?

Nice!
I don't like the wide end. I prefer the small tip similar to the needle nose.
if only the NA model came insulated :/
why does he fold the wire?
Usually when screwing in cables, its preffered to have tick copper wires, not thin individual ones. Most people would crimp the ends. He just folds it to make it ticker, so that it fits more snug.
Perfectly new tools. nobody likes to get their hands dirty nowadays.
Form Pakistan. toolkit price
I prefer to crimp a square ferrule onto any stranded conductor going into a screw clamp terminal that carries current, but even the twist and foldback method you use is much better than just poking a raw stranded wire into a clamp., Both mechanically and electrically strong connections are needed to prevent future fires. Great content by the way.
Never properly taught how to do it without.?
