Nice array there Cap'n  :tu: I've been considering getting one of the Mini Cobras and one of the mini parallel gripping pliers for a while now. Just never plucked up courage to actually pull the trigger on them  :P have those mini cobras got a wire cutter on them?

Ive got 2 knipex, the smallest cobra and smallest plier wrench.  I use them both every time I work, but the plier wrench gets the most use.  It's fantastic to have a plier that has smooth non marring jaws that stay parallel with each other.   Top notch tools.   :tu:

Comis, depending on your needs it sounds like you are in the market for either the 5" Pliers Wrench or 5" Cobra pliers both considered their "mini tools", however if you don't mind the size increase the 7 1/4 alligator pliers is a most versatile tool as well or the 6" pliers wrench. The larger sizes are a bit cheaper, you can pick up the 7 1/4 alligator pliers for about $22 often whereas the minis approach $50.

As far as pairing it with a SAK I am not sure what you are asking.  :think: I mean it is definitely a great tool to have paired with a SAK if you need such a tool.

Not sure if this will help you get a answer, but I was thinking of getting the smallest version and keeping it in my backpack with a SAK and folder.

The Knipex Cobra I use at work.

I like the feel of those grips on Wiha tools, but they are for (wider/bigger) grip so I have trouble with them as I have smaller hands.

Welcome to the MT.O, and please do enjoy your stay!

Thanks for the reply, I just wonder what you have mentioned could 'nest' well with 91mm SAK?

Sorry for not making it too clear, but maybe the following pictures will do a better job describing what I look for:



Could any owners of Knipex please kindly confirm which wrench/pliers wrench could nest which size of SAK?(just as the pix shown above?)

I just tried on my Knipex Alligator 7-1/4-inch (the smallest Alligator pliers in the set) and they fit a 91mm SAK in between the handles. You have to just slightly open them to get it to fit in. Pics later.

Yes, very good if you want a smooth gripping area. Its sort of like a crescent wrench, but easily adjustable and has two handles which can be used like pliers.

If you want something to grip anything get the Cobra Plier.

Looks like the only real solution is to buy both.
