I carry the Spirit most of the time and I am very happy with it. However, i am always looking for new solutions and combinations, so this has me interested. What is the weight of those pliers?
Along with my SAK (typically a Compact) I normally carry a set of Knipex 125mm cobra pliers, but this weekend I learned they’ve released an even smaller 100mm set, aptly called “XS” pliers. When they arrive in a few days I’ll post a photo:(Image removed from quote.)
I'm interested in those little Cobras. Haven't seen any reviews yet
116 grams (4.0 OZ.) I carry them in this pancake style pouch I got that rides high on the belt, my shirt tucks over them and I don't even notice them most of the time just walking around.
Very interesting. I wish they would make the handles on these collapsable, that would be neat
I actually like having the dedicated pliers, having more structural integrity I have more confidence in them when bending/turning things. They're very compact at around 5" these little Knipex have quickly become one of my Everyday carry items.
You are right of course I was just day-dreaming
I'd like to know how and where you all carry these.
I ordered a pair of the XS Cobras too. It does not appear to have that adjustment button, but we must all make sacrifices during these trying times.
They have a slightly different adjustment mechanism than the rest of the Cobra range, but looks functional...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=isWzI_Uf4QI&feature=youtu.be
These arrived today. Once again, Knipex does not disappoint. (Image removed from quote.)
I ordered mine from ChadsToolBox.comHe is a great source for Knipex and other quality tools.
