MADE In USA vs. MADE in Germany #tools #testingtools #pliers #gearheads #mechanics #machinist

I'm thinking you need to put some Coca-Cola on that hit and miss because those gears are definitely locked up inside

Maybe I’m dumb but what exactly was the point? Nothing happened. 😐

pipe for leverage

So, a video about nothing…

See my cobras (and my slim nose) don’t even do this.

Knipex is actually pretty awesome

Channel locks copied the knipex design.

The only thing this video gives us time to realise is that the person in the video is incapable of choosing the right tool. 🙈

Hope he had a firm grasp on something. Preferably with both hands. That test was unsafe & kinda dumb!

Hardly anything is made in either any more.

I own a few different Knipex. They rock!

I love my knipex because of the small adjustments and locking, does the channellocks have that too?

I love american made stuff but channel lock just now became compareable. So yeah all my good pliers are knipex

Irs never comin lose turng it in wring direcshun

Knipex is the best

How do you get them to lock? I can’t figure it out

Channel Locks all day every day. Fuck Germany.

Nothing like the Knipex, I own alot of their stuff and love it. I own alot of Channellock too and they are good as well. I only buy their USA made tools although.

А что ты вообще делаешь???

Ya knipex may have been the first but that doesn't mean no one can make a tool of equal quality for less although if the channel locks are still made in America $12 is crazy

Use a pipe wrench

A co worker of mine has channel locks and he borrows my knipex occasionally when we are on the same job. I have yet to ever borrow his.

Righty tighty, lefty loosey my dude.

I broke a gr5 1/2 bolt testing like that with a pair of 410g channelocks (new) many years ago .

Poor little stover engine is looking tired these days. 😂

Knipex are overhyped overpriced gimmicks.

both good pliers for belarina dancing💃👯‍♂️🕺👯‍♀️🕺👯‍♀️

Slave labor doesn't only happen in third world countries.

Just got a Bridgeport table leaning up against the wall

Different names, same tool. Like Crescent and adjustable wrench.

Had a pair whe they first came to the USA twenty some years ago working as an electrian ,every time they disapered they woul come ; Chanel losk never came back when they walked off.

Man those must be like brand new never been used channellocks cuz that has not been my experience knipex have way more grip I've also used Irwin brand pliers and they all slip unless you squeeze the life out of the handles. the knipex grip the pipe so hard you don't even really squeeze at all

Absolutely. And that's not even the full tongue & Groove pliers thats built even stronger

You're welcome.

Expensive but I love knipex. You’ll never want regular channel locks again.

USA vs Germany ? It all depends on exactly what the item is and how much you're willing to pay.

Stupid video

Where’d you get 12 dollar channel locks at? Their usually around 22

Unless you are a behemoth, this doesn't really show anything. I'm 195lb (about 88.5kg) and just tested this on every set of channel locks I own. The only set that broke or bent was hyper-tough, which were 5 usd when I bought them.

Honestly the test doesn't show what it's like to actually use the pliers at all. Just that it can hold on to something.

Using the knipex in my experience had always been so much more user friendly, and less likely to slip, especially over time.
