I am showing €59.50 + €19.85 shipping (Euro) for a total of $84.58 (USD) + Exchange fee. .
Still not a bad price, but it does jump around. The last 3pc set (7, 10 and 12") of same non-padded Cobra's that I purchased were individual from Menard's for less than $80 total with tax and kind of sorry I bought them.
The OP padded version are more comfortable and a lot easier to hang onto in the cold, if wet, greasy, etc. If the only set to be purchased, padded would be my choice.

.
Still cheaper on Walmart with the free shipping, MaxTool [maxtool.com], the seller on Walmart, has some decent deals now and then.

For especially the newbie that does not have deep pockets, I am going to step out on a limb from experience and owning most of the Knipex pliers that include the plain and padded Cobra sets. If a decent pipe wrench in same length (or the correct open end wrench) will fit, these Cobra pliers stay in the toolbox.
There is no way you can get the effortless grip of a pipe wrench with these Cobra for the effort involved. I have above average hand grip and on tough/tight connections, a decent pipe wrench tight on 3 points is a hell of a lot easier to use. And on square connections like pipe plugs, the right size open end wrench is the first option for not marring it up.
Where the thinner than a pipe wrench Cobra pliers come in handy are tight places you cannot use a pipe wrench, or once you break a tight fitting loose, perhaps use the Cobra pliers to expedite removal with one hand a touch faster.

So you need to subtract vat (it's 20%) and most cards can pay in Euros to avoid that fee.

Perhaps I should sign in to verify. Yes, order total is $76.21 without local tax. Good catch and repped.
PS: Wondering about local sales tax? Typically, Amazon charges it domestically, so not sure.
