I can't believe as useful as they are I'm just owning a pair of these, "should've been bought a pair of these" great for pulling nails and screws out my tires!
Worked as a handyman for a while and our top guy had one of these. I ended up borrowing that thing at least 2 -3 times a week. They really are beyond usefull
I'm newer to Knipex pliers. However I've been using other manufacturers pliers just like those to cut nails doing dry rot and termite repairs. What upsets me is if I would have known about Knipex back then I would have never touched the other ones. I have found these pliers make jobs that were hard or impossible, to almost easy.
I don’t consider them underrated. Been carrying them with me to every job since the 80’s. I especially like using them for pulling finish nails through the backside of baseboards and other trim pieces that I need to reuse. I have a set of Knipex offset bolt end cutters coming tomorrow. I’m hoping to replace my Channellock end nips with it as my everyday carry.
Which version of knipex end cutters should I purchase to cut screws with a diameter of 4.3 millimeters? The previous owner of our home must have run out of nails and used about a dozen or so screws to put down a subfloor (first floor) and I’m wanting to cut them off flush as I’m finishing out the basement. Boy are they ugly to look at when walking through the basement.
I have a pair skewed towards Carpenters , in that they have a flat hammer face ground into one side ! Quite handy ! I rarely pull nails with a hammer anymore !
One thing I would love to see Knipex come out with would be a 8 in 45 degree angled mini bolt cutter. 25-30 years ago I used to get them in San Diego knot from Knipex. Now I'm an east coast and they are near impossible to find something like those from any manufactured I had to get a pair from Japan last year because I couldn't find them in United States.
@@JM-dr1th Vessel is a great Japanese tool manufacturer. This one I might be spelling wrong or pronouncing wrong Mary is also another good Japanese tool manufacturer. Good luck in your search.. Mery are the 45deg ones I have. I also had to go to the Japanese Amazon site in order to find those mini bolt cutters. And Mico Mark website they have a bunch of unusual tools as well..
I bought the channellocks end nippers because I needed them for that day, but I want the knipex, how much better do you like the knipex than the channellocks? The knipex looks like a better size, being a little bit bigger.
The Knipex are a little bigger, I will say the channellocks are cut better right out of the box, but the channellocks start showing wear rather quickly compared the the Knipex.
I was use a pair of channel locks to remove staples mails and even screws. But I lave a page od end cutters tY are probable 40+ yrs old and only 5 inches that I use for cutting fish hooks off lures. They work better then any other cutters I have.
I am a commercial carpenter, and I carry these pliers at all times when I’m doing everything other than concrete form work. No one else does, and it kills me.
If you consider a tape measure and a hammer as bare minimum for tradesmen, then I hope you mean an electrician's lineman pliers! None of us really carry hammers. We bash everything with our pliers lol
The history of Knipex begun with this very tool, the end cutter. The first tool they commercially produced, it is the best from the expert.
I was not aware of that, great Information!
You demonstrated my purpose in wanting this tool; staples left behind floor padding .
Great demo, thanks.
That is the exact tool I used for pulling the left over staples when I took my carpet up. Worked great!
I can't believe as useful as they are I'm just owning a pair of these, "should've been bought a pair of these" great for pulling nails and screws out my tires!
No doubt, they are probably the best tool for that application!
I find end nipper pliers handy for removing screws and nails from my car tires.

but why didn't you get your own instead of borrowing it 50 times.
@@tallswede80 just a short summer job
Was given a set of these, 16" length. Thanks for the video
No problem 👍
Now you've made me want to go buy another tool, haha. Great video, thanks.
200 % ! I prefer the iteration with a hammer face one one side !

Good video thanks.Suggest for screws try vampliers or the new Knipex twin grips.
I do have the twin grips. Just recently got them they are amazing. I also did a video on the twins as well.

I did a video on another set that are offset, those work really good for pulling nails!
awesome video
Glad you enjoyed it!

Any idea what the japanese ones are called? I have been looking for something like this, or 90 degrees if possible

Also great for pulling things out of tires
Very good point!

removing stripped out screws, that is what the twingrips are for. There are also vampliers.
End nips can get the job done as well. Which is all it comes down to. Use the tool you have that gets the job done.
just bought. got a bunch a broke off heads and unreachable nails with my catspaw

I am a carpenter as well, and its always in my tool bags.

Nothing wrong with that! You gotta do what you have to do!
I guess if I was stuck on a desert island and could have only one tool, I would want my Klien lineman pliers.
👍

You forgot to pronounce the K
