Here’s the first Knipex tool Im disappointed with. I own several pairs on knipex pliers of outstanding quality. My buddy is a snapon addict and in general I wouldn’t trade my Knipex pliers for his snapon. He bought a pair of locking pliers. I wanted to see how the knipex compared against vicegrip and snapon. I got these in the mail yesterday and I’ve never used them so I can’t say how the teeth quality is. The jaw rack is pitiful. I’ll be sending these back. If these were $5 China crap you could probably squeeze the body in a vice and tighten them up but these weren’t supposed to be crap.

To be honest with you, they don't look anything like the Knipex tools I have. Without further research I would say they could be counterfeit. I didn't know Knipex made locking pliers.

Okay did go to their official website, and they are probably legit. But yes indeed send those back! I'm shocked actually.

I'm still around. Gave it another try when changing engine oil on both tractors. Got a good hold, just not enough leverage/strength this time around.

So you got the (pipe) wrench to grip/hold, but not enough strength to turn it? Maybe use a cheater pipe and/or a helper?

Good to hear you are still chasing after it. Should keep us going for another 100 posts!

With what?

After so many tool suggestions you report that you "got a good hold" but neglected to say what tool got the "good hold".

Did anyone ever consider his strength may be a result of what he smokes in that pipe of his?
