If you want knipex for half price, this ain't it. If you're looking for a cheap tool that you can ride hard and put away wet, it'll be your huckleberry.

The steel is softer, the machining on the jaws is quite rough, and the jaws are narrower than the comparable knipex.

This would be something I would keep in the car or lend to friends.

I returned mine.

Most homeowners do not need Knipex quality in small set of pliers. I just plumbed two baths and basement and I only grabbed my Knipex maybe twice and could have made do with my cheaper tools. Spending more for high end tools you do not need can be a cry for lifetime as you realize you wasted tens of thousands of dollars unnecessarily.

Being a fool with money is a much more devastating thing that not having top of the line pliers so I can admire my taste in tools. I estimate that I have maybe a couple hundred thousand more for retirement by making wiser buying decisions.

This Is SD not the site to always recommend Mazzatti over the Ford just because it costs more.

That is very good point. I like having cheap tools I do not have to worry about and can leave out where needed .

One pair of Knipex at home is not more valuable to me than having some cheaper but serviable pliers in multiple places such as the truck, shed, garden bench or tackle box. Not having to worry about ruining them, losing or having them stolen has great value. If it rains on or someone walks off with my bag of cheaper tools it is no sweat off my back

I have sets of tools for all my vehicles, outbuildings and multiple gear and tool bags for specific tasks like bike riding. To gear up with Knipex I'd be in for $300 for just one type of pliers.

Quote from DonV1962 :
How do you get that when the Knipex alternative is $60? Three time the cost is not near the same price at all. Also I see no creeping up in price for these so this deal is a down trend. Sorry to say but two out of two claims you make appear to be factually incorrect.Attachment 17277871 Harbor Freight Icon 10" version may be a bit nicer but they are also more at $40 and not near the same price.https://www.harborfreight.com/10-...200.htmlIf anything if someone wants a pair like these on a budget they better jump now as I am sure tariffs are going to start increasing the price of tools from China.
Honestly I'd always tell someone to start with the cheaper version of a pliers wrench and decide if they like the tool first. I know some people that think I'm nuts for loving them and prefer a regular adjustable wrench. If you find you love it and use it constantly, then it's time to consider the knipex version and throw the first one in the car or loaner kit.

You can find the knipex 7.25 pliers wrenches for ~$45 on amazon depending on the variant (comfort grips, etc) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B081K8WFTF

The knipex is much better in terms of comfort, ease of changing size, and being a bit more anti finger pinch. If you use this tool more than once or twice a week, it may be worth upgrading to the knipex. For most people, these will be fine. If you tend to loan tools out or want to leave one in the car, go with one of these ~$20 options, they hurt less to lose. The 7.25" size is the most useful IMO by far. No idea why HF hasn't copied it yet. They can handle surprisingly large nuts (my C02 tank for beverages requires a large adjustable wrench but the 7.25 knipex handles it fine) and I threw the lowes mini set into my car after fighting with my brother's battery mount on the side of the road with a normal adjustable wrench. The 10" version (I have the craftsman but have played with several different versions including HF and Knipex) is good but much larger than I need for all but the biggest jobs. I can generate a lot of force with the 10" which isn't always a positive for the medium sized jobs.

Very good advice for people that do need heavy duty top of the line they will figure out quickly where they are needed.

I actually got the large three piece set of Knipex cobras for a great price yet sold them as they would be wasted on me. My 10" Craftsman branded pair have done all I need when a serious grip is required.

Don't get me wrong they were beautiful, built well with the finest of materials and would have looked great in the toolbox yet at this point in life they would have seen little use and my wife will appreciate the cash for retirement.

She will likely be be cursing my cold dead body for having to give away or haul away all the many nice and not so nice tools I have accumulated. She will probably get 1/10th of their value and I'll be worrying about it on my deathbed.

Earthly treasures can be a curse, waste, worry and burden if you are not reasonable with it all. I know people that are at retirement age and always have had fancy cars but no money in the bank or even a home to call theirs or pass on.

Maybe you could have retired at 55. It is matter of math.

Lets say I'm a new homeowner at 20 and I go out and buy the pliers need for various projects. I have at least thirty varying pairs and lets say I paid $15 a pair for non Knipex and $45 a pair for Knipex. The $900 saved is invested at a measly rate of return of 4% and I have $2400 after twenty five years. If I take that out to forty years the return is $4300. If I do more likely return of 6% after forty years that would be $9250. If reached for top of the line in all the tools I have I would probably be back at least $100,000 or maybe way more any way I look at it.

The math is the math and as pretty low end regular pliers got me through most of my life working on just about anything you can imagine I think I made a wise choice. Big sums of money are made up of small ones. The Knipex would have been pure loss and selling used Knipex sure would not get me $9250 back. Prices on them have actually been dropping as the patent is up

Maybe you have more disposable income than other people but I am good with my choices.

Who the heck needs thirty pairs of pliers? As I said before, I am retired and have not owned nearly that many in my entire life, even with the wide variety out there. I doubt even a professional plumber would own that many. Buying an excessive number of cheap tools is not any financially smarter than buying fewer expensive ones. You also makes some big assumptions. Just because someone buys a single pair of Knipex means they only buy Knipex or similarly expensive tools? And buying a home at 20? What color is the sky in your fantasy world? For the record, I own two Knipex tools, the pliers wrench and the Cobra pliers, and I can guarantee you those two purchases did not change my retirement date.

As a contractor, homeowner and auto owner I need many tools. Pliers come in many varieties and many sizes and they all are needed at times. A pair of pliers that I use for a faucet are not the same that I need for cast iron. I have mini pliers up to quite large ones a in varying styles and designs that work well for one thing but not another.

It was not an excessive amount as I do almost all my own work on everything I own and jobs of all sorts for customers and there was always some other tool that would have been useful. If I limited myself to a couple expensive pairs of pliers I would have limited myself in the jobs I could do. Buying cheaper pliers not only saved me money up front but increased income. I use my tools I do not sit back and admire them. At times I had two trucks fitted out with tools plus tools I used at home. You must have little knowledge of the trades , the trucks and tools used as I see guys that make my collection of tools look small.

You assume that everyone must be some hobbyist type plier user like you are. I did not buy my house at twenty but did at thirty. I only had the money for the down payment as I got control of wasteful and luxury style spending.

If the Knipex are your thing and work for you great but when people sometimes struggle with food budgets advice to buy top of the line tools when they are not needed is bad advice.

You are assuming that most people here are professionals. I guarantee you 90% are DIY/hobbyists like me. Just because someone splurges on a single luxury item doesn't mean they do that with everything. You can't assume how someone lives based on one small aspect of their lives. I saved enough money to buy my house when I was 28, and it wasn't a starter home. It is big enough and nice enough that my wife and I raised our family in it, and we still there live now. But I never had "wasteful and luxury spending" to get control of.

No you actually responded to me where I stated that most here are probably homeowners that do not need Knipex and recommendations for them to buy them without knowing the full picture of who is buying them or how they will be using them are silly. I also stated that even as a professional I managed to get by without them. I also stated that your financial picture can be badly impacted by even moderately small purchases and by not saving. I do not find any of those statements shocking or off base and wonder why you do.

So you used your experience as professional of owning 30 pliers to justify your math while saying it applies homeowners, who have no need for that many. Again, somehow you are trying to imply that if someone buys Knipex or similar, that makes them poor at managing their money, and that is just jumping to conclusions. If someone is poor at managing their finances, that is true across the board, and not defined by a single purchase. People spend money on all sorts of things I would never dream of buying, but that doesn't automatically make them financially irresponsible.

Homeowners that work on their own stuff could well need thirty pairs of pliers. I gave up the contacting but still use all my tools and need almost every type of plier imaginable as I redo my plumbing or work on my car. I have friends, family and neighbors that have never been in business that have as many tools as I do or more. Putting together any set of tools and reaching for the highest in class can be quickly very expensive. I can have that for $45 soldering station at the low end or $700 at the high. I can have $5 pliers or $50 ones. Those are impactful financial choices

I jumped to no conclusions about you, you jumped on me with a off the wall assumption. You assume and conclude as a universal that people only need a few pairs of pliers to try to make you point and I point out that is often is not the case.

I just gave very general advice as pushback to all the you need Knipex posts. I did not say it applies to everybody you are arguing you specific use case does. If you need or want Knipex go for it and I even advised how to get a better deal on them. If it did not apply to you you could have moved on but you seem to have some desperate need to justify your purchase.

We are on a forum that focused on saving many not spending more when not needed.
Consumer debt is at an all time high and advising everyone that they need n Knipex is not smart or wise thing without knowing more.
https://abcnews.go.com/Business/a...=118788620

I have seen financial devastation in my own circle of friends family and neighbors and I think my advise a bit more balanced than just buy Knipex.

I'm not disputing the basic financial facts, it's the idea that one poor purchase decision has such a large effect on someone's finances. Even if someone did buy 30 Knipex, it would take a lot more than that to screw up their finances, or they shouldn't be buying anything at all. If you have truly seen the financial devastation you state, then you know it involved dozens of bad decisions, and people that foolish aren't going to have their minds changed by posts here. By the way, I gutted both our kitchen and master bath down to the studs and put new plumbing in both, and do much of my own auto work, and still have nowhere near 30 pairs of pliers.

You assume again, argue with some strawman and against words not said. I clearly never said a one time purchase has large impact.

My point was clear as bell. I did say that having the idea in your head that you always need the highest end in any given tool or product can be bad news and as consumer debt shows many many people are spending way more than they should. I did also say that my cheaper tools lasted me long and did what needed to be done doing both residential contracting and my own work.

It is bit funny as I am cleaning up and organizing today and taking some pairs of $5 groovelocks that must be near thirty years old out to put in the shed, hose cart and truck.

I'm beginning to wonder how good you feel about what you spent as you seem to feel the need to defend and justify your choice to the extreme in deal for a tool you are not interested in.

Im no tool expert but if you have knipex you'll know the difference. Would they do the job...sure. But its steel quality and longevity is what your paying for. These are similar to Klein Lowes exclusive made in china which were crap. It just felt flimsy, low quality, alot of play, adjustment sucked. Your $$$ spend how you please. To me these are like beater gas station pocket knives; use, abuse, dont care if lost or stolen. Stay in the car tool kit.
