KNIPEX - 81 11 250 Tools - Pipe Gripping Pliers With Replaceable Plastic Jaws (8111250)

Bought these plyers because I needed something with soft jaws to install finished bathroom plumbing. Never heard of this brand before. Nicest plyers I've ever seen. May have to replace all my other plyers. No doubt expensive but well engineered and built.

Sturdy and does the job.

Not a bad plier but its jaws slip on the faucet handle body. I have a lot of their tools and all are of great quality as are these

I loved these so much that I purchased both the bare plier and the one with nylon jaws. Well worth it, even if you don't use them for aviation connectors. My application was plumbing repairs. My current house is over 25 years old and I've lived in houses that are 6 decades old. Sooner or later, you'll encounter rusty/corroded valves, bonnets and cartridges that are very difficult to remove. The plier has a very liberal jaw opening. It's not loosey goosey like a Channelock. The leverage point is adjustable with a push button locking mechanism. The nylon jaws fit very nicely into the metal jaw. I believe you can order this attachment separately by contacting the vendor, but I found it more convenient to order one plier with and one without the nylon jaws. In plumbing, time is money, and the downtime of having an entire house shutdown for a repair is not acceptable (to my wife). Not having the right tool also runs the risk of damaging old parts, necessitating the need to rip out an entire valve. How many people carry around a brand new rough-in kit and valve on a simple leaky valve repair? So, think of yourself as an astronaut on a space walk who better have every possible tool you need to complete a job, because you won't get a second chance. That's my excuse for buying quality + versatility first and foremost.

Aircraft technician here. These work as designed also; solid construction. The grip is a bit soft and slips a lot on cannon plug pliers. Also expensive.

High quality and very useful tool

Absolutely the best cannon plug pliers on the market. Replaceable heads and a familiar handle feel so my other knipex made this the best choice for me.
