YukonPlumber Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 Was looking at new cresent wrenches then these were brought to my attention. They look great, I'm just curious if you have to really squeeze tight to turn very tight stuff? Like seized on bolts, or unions on hearing systems? Because that could be majorly fatiguing having to squeeze the handles very tight while also turning the wrench. So what do you all think and your experience of these? I'm looking at the 150, 180, 250, 300 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking at the 150, 180, 250, 300I absolute love my Knipex pliers wrench. If you push the wrench the right way you really don't have to grip the handles at all. Think of using a tongue and groove pliers you don't squeeze the pliers you use the built in mechanics to provide the gripping power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conductor562 Posted June 3, 2014 Report Share Posted June 3, 2014 They have a good gripping function. Not like traditional T&G's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YukonPlumber Posted June 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2014 They arrived yesterday, and man oh man I love these things. Got a decent work out this morning, used them to do some gas lines flare joints, regulator, and to attach the curb cock to a house main. You really can't appreciate having no wiggles room with working with brass fittings, until you try these. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K.C Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 I've been using the 10 and 12 inch for an little bit now. When it comes to working on sloan toilets they are AMAZING. Another bonus is that they do not mark up the finish. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aluminumfoilcurtain Posted June 29, 2014 Report Share Posted June 29, 2014 Yeah these pliers are the real deal. Over 50 5-star reviews on Amazon and only 1 2-star review. These should be in every toolbox. I love em. I'll post a picture but it is just the stock picture: Man that's beautiful. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
