I have the 250mm, just ordered the 180mm, no idea how I coped up till now without these little beauties.

That reminds me that Amazon sent my Mum two sets of these by mistake earlier this year. While they made good on her actual order, they didn't want either set back. So we got one set. Bloody expensive for what they are (very small 125mm pliers) but still...Knipex!

I was tossing between the 250 and 180, and a mate said to get the 180 as it is a lot more manoeuvrable when working on bikes. I got the 180 and would have to agree. The fact that it has 2 perfectly parallel jaws means it doubles as a mini vice for pressing in bushings in situ etc.

I agree, the 180 is a great addition to my bike toolbox.
