I've got a Nutbuster, will get one of these and compare them side by each. The jaws of this one look a little smaller than the Nutbuster. We'll see....... No question about Knipex quality.

First rate tools by anyone's standards. The Channellock Nutbuster line offers a slightly less expensive, made-in-USA alternative to these Knipex Raptors. I have a set of the Nutbusters and they are mean! While I wouldn’t say that they will take the place of wrenches, I will comment on Knipex qulity. First rate tools by anyone’s standards.

We carry one on each of our plumbing trucks. While we also use J3800 series Proto ratcheting flare-nut wrenches - these pliers are just as often reached for to tighten fittings. They cost about $25 at ChadsToolbox Like many Knipex pliers, these are great tools. We carry one on each of our plumbing trucks.
