I bought my first pair of these one Ebay (the 250mm pair) as i got a voucher for £30 off and strangely enough i bought my second pair of Amazon (the 180mm) but both pair from the same supplier XPN1 (who are good and gave a competitive price) Back to the tools, when the 10" or 250mm version arrived i thought this is some tool and maybe i should have got the smaller version ( trust me these are well built ) so i ordered the 7" or 180mm and when it arrived i wasn't disappointed and was glad i had bought both pair. To cut a long story short there is a big difference between the two even if it is only 70mm on paper but ones for the pocket (make your mind up as to which one and the other can do it all just on a bigger scale)

These Plier Wrenches are a novel idea, interesting design and do have some unique features. Smooth jaws mean they will not mark fasteners etc. and can be used almost with a ratcheting design where you simply release your grip slightly to move the pliers back round and turn again.They can be used to hold things, turn fasteners, straighten sheet metal etc. In some scenarios they work well and are a vast improvement on the typical adjustable spanner design.There are some downsides however. When adjusted, you have to apply the gripping force yourself which can be tiring if used for longer periods. If access if awkward it can be hard to fit the handles into tight spaces and get your hand onto both handles to grip etc.

After years of buying stuff on Amazon, this is the first product that I have been impressed enough with to leave feedback on. I needed something to remove a seized nut on my Ducati. It was in an awkward place which meant I couldn't get a socket on and a normal spanner wouldn't fit due to the last owner rounding it off so I used the heat and wax method . Pliers and an adjustable wouldn't work so it was a case of try and cut it and risk damaging the exhaust or bolt or buy these that I'd heard so much about. It's amazing, easy to use and after a few minutes of getting the nut all the way along the thread, there isn't a mark on it ! I meant to buy the 250mm but got these instead, luckily.

These are far better than I thought they would be. They are easily adjusted - simply press and hold the button and slide to the required jaw width, then release the button to lock in place. The mechanism has a quality and positive feel. Squeezing the handles gives an amazing amount of pressure and will hold a nut very securely. I thought that they might "slip" on a nut and round off the corners but in fact they hold very tight and flat on the faces of the nut and do less damage than an ordinary adjustable spanner. They have an impressive adjustment range - from 0 to 36mm. These pliers are so quick, easy to use,

As soon as I became aware of the very existence of the Knipex Pliers Wrench I just knew 'I NEED TO HAVE THIS'... whether or not it was something that I would use was irrelevant. But I waited and shopped around and ended up buying from Germany through Amazon, treating myself to the even more NEED TO HAVE THIS version with the more ergonomic grips. Knipex, on a serious note, do make the best pliers and side cutter in my opinion and this tool adds to the regard in which I hold them; the way the mechanism works is slick and superb.Go on - buy one. You know you deserve to have one in your life.

What an outstanding piece of kit! More versatile than an adjustable spanner. High quality, German manufactured and cleverly engineered. This tool's trick is to multiply force, so a light grip with your hand produces massive grip in the pliers' jaws. Low effort holding the handles together means you can focus on turning. And no more rounded-off nuts.Few tools live up to their hype, but this one does. Worth every penny.I’ve found this 180mm size to be a good choice if, like me, you can only afford one.

High quality and very good design. Easy to use with a push of a button. Press straight. The difference between 03 and 05 is the plastic handle covers. 05 is heavy duty and convenient for applying more power by hand like a regular plier. 03 have more skinny plastic handle covers for more delicate jobs. We use it on building 3d printers and to push m3 nuts to their slots. Highly recommended. And the narrow jaws is another big plus for us.

High quality German made tool. Very versatile and for many applications far better than an adjustable spanner,smooth jaws mean that plated metal surfaces of pipe fittings are not damaged during tightening.

Handy tool does what it says on the tin. Replaces spanner and adjustable wrench.Good quality but expensive, but then it is knipex. You have to pay for German engineering or do without unfortunately.!!!

These are my new favourite go-to tool. Adjust and clamp onto any nut/bolt and tighten/loosen.beautifully made and seriously durable, I'd highly recommend a set of these.

Second one of these I have bought , I now have a 125mm and a 180. Versatile and well made tools from a quality manufacturer. German Made.

Beautifully made pliers which will last for ever. The price, however is much too high for what it is; buy only when discounted.

Fantastic addition to the toolbox. So good I had to get five pairs to give out as chrimbo prezzies. Not cheap, but really good.
