    Knipex pliers wrench are really great, extremely good quality (though quality on these smaller ones has an issue), easy to use, and better than slip-joint pliers and regular adjustable wrenches.

    As for this particular model (I have several), the manufactures info does state: "Slim profile design head fits into tight places" - these has a tapered/slim width head; though it flares a bit wider toward the back of the throat, the jaws are only 3mm wide. For me, that meant I could not use the for most of what I intended. I'm keeping them because they will be handy for some very small nuts/etc, and for things like straightening terminal/connector pins, but it was actually the 6" version I should have got, that has normal width jaws. Another thing to consider is that that, though the jaws can be adjust for a wide range of openings, these small pliers wrench only opens/closes the jaw about 3.7mm for a full swing of the handle. See pics.

    I definitely recommend these for narrow/slim work, but not for normal work, where the 6" or 7", that have normal width jaws, are far better in general ,and what I think most people are actually looking for and expecting. If this helps, let me know (below).
