Genuinely useful!
Glad to see that Knippex is now available here at HH. Mentioned this brand to a friend who is a gas service engineer. His immediate response: “Knippex are excellent!” Having had the 125 size for about a year, I can honestly say that if this super handy tool was lost, it would immediately be replaced with a new one. Micro sized multitools are a nice addition to an EDC selection, but the small pliers on a Gerber Dime, or a Victorinox Swiss Army Knife such as the Handyman or Champ models are necessarily limited by their minuscule size. The Knippex design picks up where tiny pliers leave off, with power to spare! The range of adjustment is impressive for a small tool, and is easily operated with one hand. The weight is minimal in a backpack, pouch, or suitable pocket, and less bulky than than at first anticipated. Quality of materials and manufacturing is superb. For versatility, precision, and tremendous gripping force, this item excels. The plastic covered handles have even served to grip a stubborn jar lid that was too big for the jaws of the little pliers. Tip: a wide rubber band or similar material wrapped around the lid can add considerable traction. The back surface of the pliers has also served as a light hammer on a couple of occasions. Happily recommended! (Actually bought on A****n, so, sorry, HH, but I know I will continue to buy from your good selves in the future!)
