I’ve used my Knipex 5” cobra pliers more than anything else in the toolbox, except maybe a torx set. Solid tools.

They're great. As a line cook, I used to EDC a pair of the 4" minis in my pocket for taking off burner nozzles for cleaning. By the end of my year there, everyone else I worked with had bought a pair because they were so much better than dealing with the garbage Hart brand pliers the restaurant supplied.

Have you tried their cantilever grips? Thought they'd be a gimmick but I've stopped carrying spanners because they're so good

I have a mini pair of those as well and they’re also great!
