Working on a 1985 Mazatrol lathe in 2024 is... intresting. Knipex Smart Pliers have not only made my job easier but its also a great joy to get to reach for these pliers everytime new stock steel needs to be pulled out.

Quick efficient grip

I work as a plant mechanic and efficiency with our work is very important, so i gave these a try after using the normal cobras for a while, and it did surprise me how good the auto latching worked, also saves me time here and there to get the job done faster, to keep the line running.

Fantastic but also....

These are great and in every way are an improvement over the normal Cobras. That said, the jaw opening is significantly smaller than the standard 10" Cobras. I can comfortably tighten 1.25" EMT couplings with the standard cobras while these don't even open up enough to fully grab ahold of a 1" coupling. I don't own a pair, but I'd imagine these open about the same amount as the 7" Cobra pliers. Other than the smaller capacity these are incredible.

Excellent

Awesome plier very easy to use and they dont slip. If you have used Knipex Cobras you know how good they are. These are the best Knipex I have used they auto adjust exactly where you need them. Not cheap but well worth the money in my opinion buy them.

No more wasting time adjusting cheap pliers. These hold really well and are well worth the premium. Typical Knipex quality. All the guys at the shop are jealous too.

Needed a special something

Work with plastic extruders and needed something with gripping power and to used one handed, to tighten, pull, or handle hot metal. Used it with no problems, no slips it is amazing
