    Their pliers wrench was a game changer for me. It took me awhile to spend $60 of one set of pliers but I have never regretted it. They apply so much force with smooth jaws that are parallel to each other. Best traits of Cresent wrench and channel lock wrench. I don't use cresent wrenches anymore, I have them but don't use them. Any sort of plumbing work. They can even crimp small bent out of shape sheet metals.

    The Klein cutters can also grip and pull wire, utilizing the back of the hinge point when you open the handles and pinch the material.
    In aviation, Knipex is the go to for small fabricated parts where small squish rivets are needed. Much more convenient than hitting the arbor press or a squeeze. Knipex makes smooth jaw pliers that create so much force, you will actually damage steel if you’re not careful. Great review.

    I was a radio operator and then scout observer in the corps. Went through ALOT of gerbers & leathermans. Something to remember is if you use a gerber to cut fencing, the wire cutters/pliers will take heavy damage quickly & they will not work to cut or strip actual wires anymore. Most people dont think about it but when it comes time to cut a wire, they pull out their gerber and then realize they have a problem and have to buy a whole new gerber just to regain the ability to easily cut wires.

    I found some local that are identical to these but they don’t have a R. Immediately tried them out on a chain link fence and a piece of barb wire and it appeared to cut pretty much like the ones you just did as a sample. I am 5 foot 10 175 pounds so my strength is probably pretty similar to Southern peppers.
    I wanted to buy the ones with the R but a local place had these and it had them for a while and gave them to me for $43. They look identical. I even cut a few 2 inch long drywall screws with them just to see what they were like and it cut through it very easy with one hand.

    I work as a welder/fabricator/mechanic . I used both for years cutting various TIG wire stainless , carbon steels , bronze silicone , ect. The Knipex centerline bolt cutters are by better wire cutters, but the Klien lineman's pliers are better for removing the hot tungsten electrodes. Though I developed a technique of twisting as,I cut with the Kliens to make the cut easier on thicker wire. If the same technique is used with the knipex , they will chip the cutting edge . Ask me how I know....

    Good info on cutting tools- in all honesty, never thought of that before. I have lots of tools, so I rooted through them in the garage- I found a good pair of Craftsman lineman pliers, some fence pliers, and a large and small set of bolt cutters. I placed all of these items in my 2 vehicles (a truck and a jeep). Each vehicle also has a 12 gauge shotgun- next I will be trying to score some Hatten rounds, as another way to breach locks in a pinch.

    I always bring my Knipex out for doing fencing. Rather than using the fence pliers and a hammer to pull out old staples I just nip the staple in its proudest spot and then you can wiggle each side out rather than mar up the post pounding the puller in. You'd be "hard pressed" to use even the toughest side cutters for that

    Along with cutting though all sorts of material (many gauges of different wires, steel banding, nails, screws, plastics, thin wood, etc.) with my 9" Kleins, I can also use it to hammer in and remove nails. I use them to get a good grip on certain things I would not want to (or cannot) grip with my hands as well. Although the Knipex is probably better at specialized uses, i think the Klein linesman's/ironworker's pliers are a better overall tool with more practical uses. Thanks to it's heft and design, you could also use it as a melee weapon if the absolute need arose.

    Remember that you are pushing with grip hand at the same time, not to think of it as if gun is in a vice and you are only pulling slide back. Have gun at compression helps too, not arms out fully extended like in movies. Micro guns have less area to grip, small hands a glock 19 is perfect.
