The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other hand tools and workshop hand tools we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
The KNIPEX 31 11 160 leads this roundup on demand with about 300 purchases in the last month, paired with a 4.8-star rating over roughly 837 reviews. At $39.99 it is premium but slightly cheaper than the 26 18 200 SBA.
At a listed 3.6 ounces it is one of the lightest pliers in this batch, with a plastic handle. KNIPEX does not publish jaw length, tip shape or steel type here, so the strong rating and class-leading sales carry the recommendation.

Performance notes
A 3.6-ounce listed weight makes the 31 11 160 easy to handle for fine, repetitive gripping where fatigue matters. Without a published jaw or cutting spec, match it to detail and electronics-style tasks based on the rating and light weight rather than stated dimensions.
What buyers say
Class-leading monthly sales plus a 4.8-star average signal strong, current owner confidence. Price is the usual reservation, as with the other premium KNIPEX models here.
