Review on πŸ”§ Knipex Tools 13818, 6-in-1 Electrical Installation Pliers with Dipped Handle for Enhanced Grip, in Red by Carl Morgan

Revainrating 5 out of 5

At first they didn't meet my expectations but now they have exceeded my expectations A LOT

They weren't what I expected, I thought they were bigger and had slightly different proportions so I was when I received them a bit disappointed but instead of sending them back I decided to just toss them in my tool bag and see what happens. Well, let me tell you that I use these guys every day. The Wouk is great for stripping and cutting larger wires, and also makes a nice clean cut in 1/2 and smaller RF coaxial cables. I don't use pliers that often, but it's nice to have them with me because every now and then you need a quick pair of pliers. EDIT/UPDATE: These are my favorite pliers. If I'm doing anything with wires/coax/electronics, I use them. Cut the wire, they swing, strip the wire, they swing, twist and bend the wire, you guessed it, they swing. You can easily cut coaxial cable up to 1/2 inch in diameter. The crimp is useful for small connectors, and the pliers part itself is very handy. The jaws on the tip are smooth, allowing you to grip/bend the material without damaging it. but a little further you have your teeth if you really need to pull yourself together. All in all the best $60 I've ever spent!
