That isnt the best and strongest sidecutter from knipex.There is much more my friend😂.In germany this is the standard sidecutter from knipex for about 20$
ddcn427 no, he didn’t do a terrible job as the boxes and emt are still grounded. Just not as good as it would be with a ground screw BUT I get annoyed when he tries to do it as a tutorial and do it wrong
When my wife was a sales rep for Lawsons , they used to take a competitors drill bit and drill a hole thru it with the lawsons bit. Of course the trick was to drill the shank where it was not hardened. Lawsons hardens the shank of their bits. They do make the best drill bits I have ever used.
It fascinates me how you Americans prepare for Armageddon when you appear to enjoy the worlds most secure lifestyle. Keep making the vlogs Cody, really appreciate all of the content and hard work that goes into them. Blessings on you and your family.
These are great though when you can't fit a bigger tool in. I pack these in my go bag when I have to do aircraft repairs in the field. They will cut through seized bolts and screws with moderate effort on the largest pair.
Those are my current favourite, I used to carry the 74 91's in my toolbox before as I needed something to cut 3 mm solid steel wire (fibre optic cable reinforcement wires), but the 71 series have replaced them completely. They are also very handy for shortening bolts if you can't get at them with an angle grinder.
As a telephone tech that uses scissors (we call them snips) to strip wire, I once was issued a new pair and cut a penny in half with them. My EDC pair are Klein and worth every penny.
I like the precision in cutting really small wires and the possibility to handel also really tough materials with these tools. Of course also the best tool has limits and will fail at some point (like you can see in the video). I worked a lot with KNIPEX-tools and they never let me down. Luckily I am from Germany, so the Products are much cheaper here 😊
The cutting side takes way more force due to the mechanical advantage of the longer handles also the drastic change in shape from the cutting edge creates a stress concentration at that point
From my experience, the most useful are the cobra pliers. I dearly miss mine that were stolen along with all my other electrician tools two years ago and just never got around to replacing them. They far out perform any other type slotted adjustable pliers on the market.
I bought a pair of Harbor freight side cutters they were smaller than these but I went to cut a piece of er70s2 1/8th thick tig filler wire and there cutter broke the first time and there same way these cutters did.
If they are still in good shape... keep them! Great mementos... The production process has changed only in details. The steel is probably very similar and the drop forging process is the same for 100+ years.
Just a line, Cody, to let you know I used Blue Loctite today. I have a very good telescoping ARS tree pruner. But I do not need the cutting head to articulate side to side. So I put Blue on the the adjusting screw. I just thought you would like to know, since I have never used Loctite before.
anyway in all seriousness, it looks like the design of the side cutters has a single stress point which causes failures in almost the same location. The difference is the material and threatment. So whats the steel in the chinese made cutters vs the german? are you actually comparing like for like?
I also have a few Knipex tools, but the VDE variant that are suitable for working with high voltages. The VDE side cutter is basically the same as yours, but with thicker, more insulated handles. Worth the money; they're way more ergonomic than those thin red handles.
I'd rather see Klein vs. Knipex. Both are playing in the same price range. The only reason Knipex is so expensive in the US is due to shipping, tariffs, taxes and so on. The model shown here in the video is less than 20 Euros, the 19.86€ on the german branch of Amazon are 21.89 US$. Value added tax of 19% is already included, so that is what you pay for them here. Here the Klein tools are the expensive ones... www.amazon.de/Knipex-74-01-180-Kraft-Seitenschneider/dp/B0002YYM4E/ref=pd_rhf_gw_p_img_2?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=P6AF7KEBHVWMQ0NCMSX3 www.amazon.de/Klein-Tools-D228-8-Seitenschneider-Schneidkraft/dp/B0000302VW/ref=sr_1_25?__mk_de_DE=%C3%85M%C3%85%C5%BD%C3%95%C3%91&keywords=klein+tools&qid=1568832472&refinements=p_89%3AKlein+Tools%2Cp_76%3A419122031&rnid=419121031&rps=1&s=diy&sr=1-25 Channellock are in the price range of Knipex here: www.amazon.de/Channellock-338-Schneidzange-20-cm/dp/B00004SBDD/ref=sr_1_7?__mk_de_DE=%C3%85M%C3%85%C5%BD%C3%95%C3%91&crid=Q8WDTGKI0K89&keywords=channellock&qid=1568832536&refinements=p_76%3A419122031&rnid=419121031&rps=1&s=diy&sprefix=channell%2Cdiy%2C158&sr=1-7
I use knipex, my coworker uses snap-on. I use mine to cut smallish bolts and screws that seize. My knipex cutting edge is still almost flawless compared to his snap-on.
I had to watch. This is the first time I've seen Knipex pliers break. The head portion or teeth would break before the handles since it's a harder steel. I've had the handle on my 22" Cobra's deflecting over 2 inches when I used a 4 foot pipe over the handle to get leverage on some old hydraulic fittings, lifting with everything I had. Once the fitting finally came loose, the handle bounced right back. They are, hands down, the best pliers in the world. Forged in the depths of Mordor
About 8 years ago I worked for a very poorly run company that thought they were saving money by buying cheap tools. They gave me some wire cutters cast from the finest Chinesium... you know where this is going. All I had to do was cut a piece of .036" wire, so I didn't really need anything fancy. When I used them, the strangest thing happened. I put the wire in the cutters and squeezed together. Nothing. I squeezed harder. Nothing. So I really squeezed. Clink! The handles broke. I almost broke a finger. And the wire.... wasn't even scratched. The blades of the wire cutter were so soft that they bent around the wire I was trying to cut. The handles seemed to be powdered metal sintered into a tool shape. That was the very first time I attempted to cut a wire with them.
I had knipex side cutters (lost them) replaced them with Klein. Like the Klein Tools better. Knipex Cobra water pump pliers make channel locks look like junk however. They are fantastic
Last Spring, first mow of the year, I managed to run the lawn tractor over a long piece of vinyl coated clothesline cable that had somehow gotten dragged out to the edge of the field. Before I could react, it wrapped around the shaft tighter than I could near believe. I put the tractor up on blocks so I could get at it, and could make no progress with any tool I had. Not long needle-nose vise grips, nothing. Went into town and bought what seemed like a big chunk of cash on a pair of Knipex cutters. Could not believe how fast they were able to cut it up into short pieces that would then fall away. Took longer to get the nicks out of the mower blade. GREAT QUALITY products!
The Dutch word for cutting is knippen, i imagine its the same in German, which makes nip-x very close to its actual pronunciation. Try Google translating cutting to German and have the pronounce it
I cant thank you enough, after watching your video i bought one of the knipex cutters and its great. So have now got rid of all my other pliers and bought knipex ones.
The cutting blade divots have a stress raiser corner near the hinge. Both broke there but no surprise as the Chinesium is a plain copy. If the divot was eyebrow curved, the tool would take even more load.
Hopefully there is a subscriber/subscribers somewhere that can spare some clear plexiglass or bulletproof glass. I believe Cody could become the next myth buster!
My good man, you underestimate the value of this experiment. What you have done is a form of a material stress test. Flexural strength I believe (I'm no scientist). Large manufacturers do this all the time. You say you have learned nothing but I beg to differ! You have learned the limit of the tool. I wish to say absolute limit, but you need more specialized machinery for that :) Don't underestimate the value of mucking around with your toys :D
Cable tech here. I use my side cutters sometimes 50 times a day. Our company supplies us with klein almost everything. Tried the knipex with my own money. I'd really have to say klein is just all around better. Cuts easier. Feel more heavy duty. I wanted to like knipex more than my kleins but I just can't. ):
I'm looking into grabbing a small tool to add to my wildland gear so I can quickly cut through fencing. Would you recommend this Knipex cutter or would you recommend Knipex's mini 8" bolt cutters.
I have a pair of Knipex end cutters and a pair of Snap On diagonal cutters. Both used for many years professionally. The Snap On definitely take more abuse. The Knipex ones cut closer to flush than the Snap on, but they are prone to chipping.
If you're looking for a good tool for cutting zip ties, you should try a pair of flush cuts. Basically side cutters that are ground totally flat on one side. These leave a nice (flush) cut on the exposed tail and prevent those sharp corners that will get your arms and wrists when you're working. They are standard in the motorsport industry.
The word “dikes” comes from diagonal cutters. Side cutters is a bit more vague as it is used for a number of tools with the ability to cut wires. In the utility trades, side cutters can refer to lineman’s pliers, diagonal cutters, or even needle nose pliers with cutters. In my experience as a retired lineman, we used the term side cutters for lineman’s pliers.

A close-up of the Knipex's cutting edge would've been nice, to see how the resilience of the jaws held its edge before failure..
The fact they are able to cut steel tools (which these are not designed to do) should be impressive enough. Regardless of its edge.

@12:10 conclusion, "so what did we learn from this tool torture test? absolutely nothing!"

We found the weakest point in that design of side cutter
Yeah, that chinese only harden the jaws of a tool where it is needed
When my wife was a sales rep for Lawsons , they used to take a competitors drill bit and drill a hole thru it with the lawsons bit.
Of course the trick was to drill the shank where it was not hardened. Lawsons hardens the shank of their bits. They do make the best drill bits
I have ever used.
Why harden the shank? Wont it just reduce the chuck's grip?
look at the steel grains under the microscope. we might be able to see why one broke first

“If anything happens to me...” “Hey y’all watch this!” and “hold my beer.” All pretty much apply here. Riveting content Cody!
hahaha
I have spent $35 on less entertainment! great series!
I have a pair of Knipex end cutters and a pair of Snap On diagonal cutters. Both used for many years professionally.
The Snap On definitely take more abuse. The Knipex ones cut closer to flush than the Snap on, but they are prone to chipping.
But the real question is, can the Knipex cut the press?! 🤔🤔🤔
Knipex fought the press and the press won
Cody. Try again, but use your grip assisted by hammer blows on the cutting end. I’ve cut pretty big stuff with lineman’s pliers that way.
I splice heavy duty cables and I use the knipex cutters, they're the best ones I've found so far
Try ck cutters
The best ones iv'e found are at a yard sale for a buck and are made in America.
If you're looking for a good tool for cutting zip ties, you should try a pair of flush cuts. Basically side cutters that are ground totally flat on one side. These leave a nice (flush) cut on the exposed tail and prevent those sharp corners that will get your arms and wrists when you're working. They are standard in the motorsport industry.

The editing on this channel is second to none. Great work.
Knipex is one of the best tool companies in the world and every product of them is perfekt
Why not use a mirror to look at it while behind the wood?
I recommend safety goggles while viewing this.
I have Knipex cable cutters for 20 years...amazing tools. Cool video!
Side cutters? I’m familiar with the term “Dykes”.
What part of the country you from cause my father-in-law always called them dykes so it stuck with me but everyone looks at me stupid when I say dykes
The word “dikes” comes from diagonal cutters. Side cutters is a bit more vague as it is used for a number of tools with the ability to cut wires. In the utility trades, side cutters can refer to lineman’s pliers, diagonal cutters, or even needle nose pliers with cutters. In my experience as a retired lineman, we used the term side cutters for lineman’s pliers.
why hasnt anyone told him its just Nipex the K is silent in Knipex!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He's American - it's their duty to butcher the English language
Well, if you look up the correct pronunciation, the k is not silent because it is in German. That said I still pronounce it with a silent k.
We did learn that side cutters have a common weak point/point of failure.
I’m from the Midwest. I had a set of Knipex side cutters that I used to trim my fingernails, but they failed in the same way.
Love Knipex, I still have a set of vise grips I've had for thirty years.
Mad props for pronouncing Knipex correctly!
