Comparing Knipex 4, 5 and workpro 4
Size: 5 inches
This is going to be a 3 in 1 review between KNIPEX 4 (K 4"), KNIPEX 5 (K 5") and the Wrkpro 4. (W 4") All are great little EDC carry pliers. Both the KNIPEX feel like they have higher grade steel for sure. The Workpro steel is not as high grade steel in my opinion but the things are very impressive for the money. It is actually a no brainer to get this one cause of the price and design. I like that it has a lanyard hole in the handle. Unfortunately the steel quality is not as strong and has little more play and not as high machining tolerances. If a professional or using it everyday or going on a motorcycle trip cross country the 5 inch Knipex are a real capable tool. Just yesterday I was working on a small engine repair and the K 5" was my go to. It was good pulling springs into place, turning losen bolts, nut even pulling spark plug cap. Very handy and comfortable just a little litterly an inch if that bigger. If you had to crank down on a 17mm you might be able to do this with the K 5" were the other smaller 4 " could not. Just remember when you are cranking on a bolt and your pliers fail or lose grip where is your hand going to be. Not fun racking your knuckles with a small little wrench. The practicality of you runing into having to tighten a big bolt with no other wrenches around will justify carrying the K 5 or K4 that are much easier to carry. The KNIPEX 4 (K 4") and WRKPRO4 ( W 4") are 2 great little pliers. THe K 4" is probably bettter for more meticulous jobs. If you want a more precision tool, demand better steal and dont mind paying double the price the Knipex are the way to go. The Knipex 4" also It doesnt snag like the Workpro that has a blue adjustment button on the side (same style as K 5") ALSO NOTE return on Knipex Pliers. You CANNOT drop off at whole foods or UPS store. You have to pack in a Box and either ship or take to an AMAZON distribution center way across town. With the Workpro 4 inch you can just drop off at Whole foods. Over all if you really dont need a professional grade , everyday tool - The WorkPro 4 inch is the way to go hands down. the lanyard hole, size, price and convenience. ... show more

Excellent EDC Pliers
Size: 5 inches
Excellent German quality, well-designed tool with adjustable locking jaws outfitted with robust teeth. This is a durable, indispensable tool for your everyday carry that handles various gripping tasks at hand for its size. This is my 3rd one (lost one and gave away another to my girlfriend, she’s a tool nut too). Expensive but well worth it if you appreciate great quality tools. ... show more

Small and handy
Size: 4 inches
I used them while adjusting the clamp on my monitor arm. One nut was awkward to reach, and the push button let me move the jaws to the right size without fiddling around. The serrated jaws gripped well, so I could make the adjustment without repeatedly repositioning the tool. I also like that the handles don’t take up much room in my crowded tool drawer.They’re not a replacement for full-size pliers when I’m dealing with larger or very tight hardware. For small jobs, though, the compact size is genuinely useful. I’ve already reached for them to tighten a loose screw on my desk setup, and I was glad I bought them instead of dragging out a bulky toolbox. They feel neatly made, and the adjustment mechanism is easy to use. Just keep in mind that these are little pliers, which is exactly why they fit my home office needs. ... show more

what have i been using all my life that call themselves "tools"?????!?!??!?!
Size: 6 inches
it's been a long time comin ive had my eye on these for years but idk why i just never pulled the trigger. but in my job ive had to work more and more w plumbing n pipes and other situations where i needed a wrench to pry things open/loose.. i would use the old style tongue and groove pliers but haaaatteee the way u adjusted them: making them do the splits just to open it up like a quarter inch.... thas straight not dope ya know??? lol but i was doing some xmas shopping for the fam when i came across these as well as some other Knipex tools for sale at prices i couldn't pass up,... and boyyyy lemme tells ya, IM MAD AT MYSELF FOR MAKING ME WAIT THIISSS LONGGG TO EXPERIENCE KNIPEX AND WHAT A HAND TOOL REALLY IS!! my lord the teeth on these raptors are actually raptor razor sharp, they grab onto just about anything at the slightest bite. the size i ordered too are perfect for what i need them for and the feel of them are superb. they fit in the hand so naturally it makes squeezing them to get a good grab near effortless. and the compact size makes these the able to get into all of the most awkward and small tight spots i encounter w ease. and the build quality on these is just flat out perfect. i never thought i could see a tool that functions at a level these do, as well as have the looks and style to match. these are like (just like another high point for german engineers) a sleek sports car fresh on center platform at debut. i mean ive never had a set specific cleanup kit for a single tool in my life before, (usually prefer the opposite n to let em wear their grit n grime), but here we are as i keep a fresh mini wipe to use to get any shmutz off after use. and im not embarrassed to say that in the least lol. if there's any Knipex hand tool put there you've always wanted, but felt u couldn't justify the higher cost for it; do yourself a favor and stop wasting precious time that you could have spent raving about these amazing tools. youll be so mad at yourself for waiting so long once you hold them in your hands lol. (this purchase was my first ever for Knipex, and i got 3 items this time and each one is the best version of that particular tool ive ever seen/used. some are even better than multiple tools at easch of their different types of tools lol.) and just so its clear, its pronounced:: 'KUH-nip-EX'• not 'NIPP-ex'• or 'nigh-PEX'• ... show more

Compact and useful
Size: 4 inches
First thoughts: surprisingly small but well made. I noticed a little binding as you tried adjusting the jaws. No issues. I like applying lubricants to all my tools. These are very handy and compact. Carry them anywhere considering the size.

Grips Like an Alligator (And Doesn’t Let Go)
Size: 12 inches
These things grip like an absolute alligator. Once they bite down, whatever you’re holding is not going anywhere. I used them to swap out an anode rod in a water heater, a job where my big channel locks just weren’t cutting it. These, on the other hand, had zero issues. Solid grip, no slipping, no rounding things off, no frustration. They adjust easily, feel incredibly solid, and just work the way you wish all tools would. A bit pricey, sure. But after using them once on a stubborn job like that, it’s pretty clear they’re worth every penny. ... show more

Essential EDC Gear

Incredibly handy and part of my EDC. When I first saw them, I thought they were a toy. But they have more than paid for themselves. So much so, that this is my second pair. I misplaced my original pair and immediately ordered this second pair. Thankfully it turned out that my original fell between the seat and console of my truck. They stay as my EDC.
