These things are God-like! I bought this exact model in a pinch for $29.98 with Amazon overnight 4am-8am shipping one night after a stupid stripped screw forced me to postpone my lighting/misc switch replacement project in the living room. Completely saved the day and my sanity removing that hopelessly stripped screw like it was nothing and I finished that next morning after it arrived. Actually ate the extra $2.99 cost on top of it and didn't think I'd keep it, but it's one of my favorite tools now! This isn't too much of a deal from it's regular price tbh, but everyone should have at least one of them in their kit!

If only someone made a vice-grip like version of these...best of both worlds.

Thanks. Made in Japan too, so hopefully the metal and heat treating are decent. Those could be a winner.

This is "survivorship bias" - "yesteryear" had plenty of garbage quality tools too, those often just didn't survive decades of hand-me-downs/inheritance like the quality stuff typically does. Just because it's old doesn't mean it's good.
Quote from CrimsonCheetah9927 :
Just use needle nose vise grips next time..they're like $15 and better than these for removing stripped screws. You don't have so squeeze and spin at same time. Just clamp then spin - a lot easier. This is coming from a electrician
Yeah, no... I'll yield that there are some scenarios this may be true, but these TwinGrips can grab and twist fubar'd screws better than any pair of vise grips I've ever tried. The hardness of the metal they're made of combined with the jaw design/serrations makes all the difference in the world.

They have other tricks up their sleeve too - they're also really good at holding onto small/medium work pieces (like flat bar, round bar, square stock) due to their adjustable jaw design with 3 points of contact. Good set to have handy.

That sucks.. I've had similar happen on a Wera tool; return and rebuy from a different seller is all you can really do with amazon these days (unless you're just content keeping it as is)

That's the tongue and groove episode. He did a slip joint episode, but didn't review the Knipex in that one.
Ŕight, i kinda assumed the steel-manufacturing-quality would be similar between different types of pliers. The ones ive used feel premium compared to others.

Another person linked a company selling oldschool ones, probably gonna do a comparison lol

Quote from tacos91 :
I am very curious to know if these are worth it to buy when I already have some Cobra's. I know that tongue and groove pliers can exert significantly more force than slip-joints, and I have been able to remove things like broken screws etc using my Cobras. However, Knipex makes such a high quality product I want some reason to buy these.
You stated a good reason to buy them: "Knipex makes such a high quality product".

If you use tools like this regularly and want something to last another generation, it's hard to justify not buying a quality product. If you're a home owner and don't use them often, the HF clones by Icon and Doyle are good budget alternatives.

Same here. Deliberating whether it's worth the hassle of exchanging.

Please someone tell me why I don't need these. These look awesome, especially in 'those situations' where it's the only tool for the job. These will be on my radar for a purchase in the future.
