I paid $8.99 about a month ago. $15 for these (the claimed regular price) would be absurd.

What you want is the cobra/water pump designs as groove joints like these are just not the right tool for most jobs. Cobra design is levels above it and I seldom or never use all the groove joints I had accumulated. I have a plie of them I plan on giving away. They just do not grip well and tear stuff up to much. Again Knipex are top of the line but the questions then are do you want to pay that price, and do you really need all that.
We are lucky as the cobra design is showing up from other manufactures now and you have options if you want pliers with the design. I assume that the patent is up for Knipex and and other makers are in on the design and some are making very capable and usable tools.
I really like this set and they are very reasonable priced. The cobra style are smaller at 5" pair of cobra style and a 6" pair of parallel jaw. Perfect set for bath fixtures in tight places as the parallel jaws are pretty non marring.

These are nice but a little more than they were about a month back when they were $10

You can see many other manufacturers making similar pliers now if you want other sizes and some are getting very decent reviews while I suspect none nowhere near true Knipex quality.

Before we sell, convince or recommend something we must determine use case and ability. If I am looking for skis or a baseball bat of course Olympic class is going to be the best but that is useless information all by its lonesome until I know how they are going to be used. If someone buys Knipex to tighten up the hose on occasion it is an awful waste for both the homeowner and the tool. It is losing equation no matter the value of the tool.
