Again, do you think people in SD are here to spend lavishly on things like Knipex? Knipex is arguably better (history/track record wise) but way too expensive and it boils down to who can afford it or do people in SD really will feel the difference of these tools?
For you, it seems like you need the Knipex, go ahead and get it for yourself but allow me tell others that I have found something cheaper that is perfect for people like SD'ers.. people who want to save money and just do some occasional use of such tools.
I don't care if I can easily exchange a tool that breaks, because I want the tool that doesn't break. Not that one is likely to actually break either of these, but the Doyle is for sure going to wear out much earlier and need replacing while the Knipex will keep on working as designed.
Even if two widgets come out of the same factory, some will be significantly cheaper by cutting out steps in the manufacturing process that the premium tools insist on.
I just caved knowing full well I have 2 sets of different brands....just buy it

I was just at harbor freight. The Doyle is not made in the USA. Package says made in Taiwan…… 🙄
Shhhh.... He was on a roll

Most people on the planet DON'T need these three sizes.
to do the job these tools are for, maybe 1% of the slickdealer, the rest of us just enjoying having them.

Cobras are badass, I'm not saying anything different; but a guy only needs the biggest or middling size of the Cobras in my opinion. Save some money for their adjustable wrench line and you'll never look back! Different application but Cobras are mini badass pipe wrenches/channel locks in essence. The adjustable pliers with the flat nut fitments are the item worth purchasing a whole set.
Knipex Pliers Wrench; "nothing compares; nothing compares. To you"
Their adjustable pliers are like a crescent wrench; completely redefined. Nothing else compares.
Edit: just look at the Amazon application pictures of the Corbas or Alligators! If you need to stand on a set to gain purchase (and grip well but lightly damage the surface of what you are gripping), you need something like this; and it works great.
If you need something to grab a bolt or nut, want good gription and don't want to tear it up; Knipex makes a set iof amazing tools for that. I've tried multiple knock-offs that have ended up in trailers and the RV over time; nothing is as good as the OG Knipex adjustable wrenches. At least nothing I've found!
