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.

No more cheap sets for me. I bought a similar set at Home Depot and the side cutter wouldn't even cut a tie wrap. Do yourself a favor and buy good set. Tools are one thing you can't get cheap with.
home depot doesn't sell Kobalt. you're comparing different brands of tools. smh.

Was going to give these a try but after reading the comments, I'll look for some better pliers.

Workpro have a similar set that are sometimes $17 on amazon and are a 7 piece set. They also make a decent clone of the vampliers (sold separately)

Is this price available in store? Or only with online ordering for store pickup? Wife wants to have a Lowes/Tractor Supply date, and I need to know if I should buy them online ahead of time or just browse the tool aisle 🤣
My location states that you can find them in aisle 59 / bay 7,

Pass on this, cause the last thing you need is to be struggling with your tools when trying fix something. Get your coupon & head over to the Harbor & get Icon or Doyle, which are better made in Taiwan than the Peeps Republic.

The older I get, the more I care about quality pliers. These would be a good backup to keep in the house but if you want awesome channel locks, go with knipex. Yea, they are $40 for 1 but it's a pleasure using them.
I have plenty of these cheap tools, and that is what they are: cheap tools. I've started replacing the few frequently used tools with Icon when they are on sale. And, I find the unique Icon Knipex clones to be especially useful. The Icon 10" pipe pliers, for example, is an absolute steal when it is on sale. https://www.harborfreight.com/10-...58200.html Even casual users will immediately feel the difference

No more cheapies for me!

Why is this even listed? Same price for almost a year
