    I’ll take them. Been dying to try some of these, now’s my chance! I assume they function well, no slipping or binding?
    Send me your payment info and I’ll get it to you!

    You will never go back to Channel Locks again. In fact, every time you pick up a pair of Channel locks, you will want to throw them. lol

    That’s what I’ve heard. I’ve had a set of them in my Amazon wish list for a year or so, just never could spend the $175 for a 3 pack of sizes. This will be a great sampler!

    I finally bit the bullet 3 years ago. Now I have 3 Cobra's and 3 wrench pliers. They have been beat to shit on the trail and at work and all still function perfectly.

    I keep seeing these everywhere on tool communities/forums. So what's the overall benefits? I'm curious if I'm missing out on a good tool lol. You mentioned that they're a good alternative to channel locks, but is that for gripping stuff in general? What about when you need to lock on to something? Just curious :).

    It's like a pair of channel locks that grips on stuff as tight as a pipe wrench. I like them better than channel locks, but I still keep my channel locks around.
    Knipex stuff is nice but I dont buy it off the tool trucks, you can get it from Amazon or Sears for cheaper, Sears even had some cobras relabled craftsman pliers. Haven't tried the pliers wrench but the cobras are nice, side cutters are nice, the couple other things I've bought from them like needle nose pliers and snap rings pliers were decent quality but I prefer channellock needle nose, and lang or snap on snap ring pliers

    I've had similar looking tools before, although they were the common cheap generic ones you get at any hardware store, but are these better somehow because of the angles?

    Shitty vid but you'll get the idea. Try that with Channel Locks.

    The teeth are very sharp and hard, so they hardly wear out.
    If say you put those on a bolt with a 9/16 head you would most likely snap the bolt off before these slipped unless maybe you rounded the corners off. Also they are made In germany so top quality
    I used to work in a plant and had to carry around a tool pouch on my belt and these were one of about 7 tools I carried everywhere everyday.
    If you dont use pliers or channel locks much they probably aren't worth the price but if you do mechanic work these are a life saver.

    We had a guy I used to work with that would hook a pair on a pipe and hang from it.
