Is this the best adjustable wrench money can buy? Is the Knipex Pliers Wrench better than your typical adjustable Crescent wrench? In my YouTube video I go over how I discovered this wrench and I compare it to other wrenches and pliers that are similar in design. The Knipex Pliers Wrench may look like a pliers, but it does the job of an adjustable Crescent wrench, only MUCH better. In fact, if you have the space, it’s probably better than a typical open end wrench because of the amount of squeeze pressure that can be applied to the fastener. This has become one of my favorite tools and I recommend these to anyone who works with hand tools on a regular basis.

Sure, this wrench won’t work in many tight automotive situations. And I’m not saying this tool will replace any other wrench you already have in your toolbox. What I am saying is… Anywhere a normal adjustable (Crescent) wrench would work, this wrench will do the job easier, quicker and with less chance of rounding off the fastener. If I was in the hydraulic business and worked with JIC fittings and hoses all day long, this wrench would be in my hand 90% of the time. If I was a maintenance mechanic in a commercial factory or any other industrial setting on a daily basis, I would carry the small version of these Knipex as part of my every day carry, (EDC) in addition to my normal tool belt/toolbox.

The Knipex Cobra, Aligator, Mini Bolt Cutters, and this Pliers Wrench are all must haves in my book. Knipex tools are not cheap, but they are VERY well made and work terrific. Kinipex tools will last a lifetime…

Get yourself a pair, you won’t be sorry!
