I used their side cutters when I was wrenching. Good tools.

I’ve used them for years at work and home. One of the best tools you can get.

I have the larger size. About the size of normal Chanellocks.

Great tool , bit spendy but real nice.

I've got a larger version of those I think you'll like them but I'm a bit of a tool junky and own way to many tools if that's possible ha ha

Agreed. And here's my opinion based on my experience using them...

I have two pair of the 10" pump pliers. They bite harder than Channel-Lock brand... Good for snugging up threaded rigid conduit or rain-tight fittings on EMT. Plus they seem to be about half the weight of Channel-Locks... which makes a difference if you carry them in a tool belt or in your back pocket.

They're German made. I prefer American made, but the Germans make good stuff. They're expensive but still reasonable.

You will never use water pumps again, after using Knipex.

I use some knipex insulated tools along with pump and wrench pliers at work. Great tools. Spendy but well worth the money.

Nice. Sounds like a good price.

Now from someone who owns a lot of tools , some advice , DON'T LET ANYONE BORROW THEM. Ever. Even blood related family.
Once they try them , that will be last you will ever see that tool.

When you have all Knipex pliers and cutter, move on to WERA screw drivers. I like the diamond tipped ones with laser cut profile in the blades They just don't slip and have a good handle shape as well. I like to work with good tools.

I bought Wera "allen" wrenches for my current job. They blow Bondhus brand out of the water. Don't bend, snap or round off. Expensive but absolutely worth it.
