Community Reviews
This Kobalt five piece pliers set is best understood as a cheap backup kit for the house, car, or go bag, with cushioned grips and a handy mix of basic pliers. The set is also notably small, and the price sits far below comparable Channellock or Workpro bundles. The main concern is durability, with reports of the channel locks and diagonal cutter tip snapping, while other pieces have held up. Kobalt lifetime warranty coverage is also mentioned, making it a budget set with real tradeoffs.
Common Questions (4)
The set includes some usable pieces, but the channel-lock style pliers and diagonal cutters have reported breakage, including a snapped valve-job channel lock and a diagonal tip that broke on the second use. Other pieces have held up for some owners, so it can work as a backup or light-duty set rather than a primary daily-use kit.
A comparable 5-piece Channellock set was seen for $109 at Home Depot, and a similar Workpro 7-piece set sometimes sells for $17 on Amazon. Some shoppers prefer spending more on Icon, Doyle, Knipex, or Channellock for better build quality.
Kobalt tools do have a lifetime warranty, so broken pieces should be replaceable for free. That makes the set more tolerable as a backup, especially if you only need occasional use.
Yes. The set is described as compact, with the pliers feeling smaller than expected, which makes it better suited for a go-bag, house, or car kit than for users wanting full-size pliers.

The tip on my diagonal pliers snapped second time I used them. I still have the others and they work fine, but I'd buy something else next time. My 2 cents.

And the tip from mine broke off as well...
