Best pair Of channel locks I’ve owned. Love the narrow handles and the jaws grip well. Once you set the size they don’t fall out. Nothing is more annoying than being at work in a tight space trying to use channel locks 1 handed when they open up and fall out of adjustment.Initially was annoyed that the lock was stiff and wouldn’t fall into place all the time. Once they were broke in they started working better. Still happens but not as often.Best pair of channies I’ve ever used as an electrician.

Great tool, definitely a small tool so not for heavy duty jobs. Consider these more of a precision tool. Great for grabbing smaller objects. Well made. Stoked on these.

I have been using this 6 inch Knipex Cobra Pliers since receiving it from home essentials direct back in Sept. 2013.This pliers is a perfect companion to the multitool that I also cary daily at work.

The Knipex sheath was so large that my Knipex Pliers would slip out the holes that where in the bottom sides of the sheath.After much trial and error with a number of different sheath I was able to find one that fit the 6 inch Knipex Cobra Pliers perfectly, the Ripoffs CO-02.The Ripoffs CO-02 has a belt clips that works perfectly for me, but if you prefer a belt loop on your sheath Ripoffs makes the same size one with a belt loop instead of a belt clip. Not only does the Ripoffs CO-02 sheath fit the 6 inch Knipex Cobra Pliers perfectly, they are also dirt cheap compared to the Knipex factory sheath.My Knipex Cobra Pliers gets used and abused on a daily bases. Has a great finish that seems to hold up very well to fighting off rust as my pliers gets wet a lot. The grips are also perfect as they provide just the right amount of grip and as of now have not pulled loose from the metal handles.I have worked with larger Knipex Cobra pliers in the past and have been very happy with the quality of them. This smaller 6 inch model seems to have the exact same build of quality and I'm 110% satisfied with them.I will be adding photos of my Knipex 6 inch Cobra pliers along with the Ripoffs sheath to the home essentials direct product page. I hope you find this review and photos helpful.Edited, Sept 30th 2014One year later, still used daily and still going strong, both the pliers and pouch!

I have bought 6 of these, one kwik-set, one 6". All of them have been great, they make a great gift for someone who is used to using channel-lock. You have to use them correctly I cant stress this enough, always be "pushing" on the top handle. The teeth are designed to "bite" in that direction. Although they are functional no matter how you use them. I work with EMT compression fittings almost daily, the 10" pliers can easily handle a 2" fitting if your in a pinch. After a year I've found these to be one of the tools that are always on me. I use them as a hammer, pry bar, crimper, de-burrer, or whatever I need them to be at the time. I abuse these because I know I can, the things I've done to Knipex tools.. Yet the teeth are still very sharp, the tool is still as ... MoreI have bought 6 of these, one kwik-set, one 6".

Yet the teeth are still very sharp, the tool is still as functional as the day I got it.
I purchased these pliers to assemble things such as 3D printers and other electronics. I don't anticipate using them for pipes.Overall workmanship is quite good. I have several Knipex snips and these are equally well-made. There is a little play in the fittings, but perhaps unavoidable for this type of tool. The jaws do line up fine. Adjustment is easy with a push of the hinge button. The size is convenient, though be aware that this is a small and almost toy-like pair of pliers so keep this in mind if you have larger hands. Material quality seems quite good. The grip material is rugged and not that plasticky, slick coating that's on cheaper tools.I am satisfied with this purchase.
Item as described. Prompt dispatch. EBayer highly recommended! *****
Its been over a year now and these 6'' Knipex plyers are still going strong. These may look like a toy but are anything but. Yes they are expensive but all hard working built well last forever tools are. I have a serious grip and brake tools often and I am unable to brake these plyers which is awesome. I carry these and the Knipex 6'' plyer wrench in my EDC bags because they are some of the best emergency tools you could have on you. Gas and water valves can be turned on or off, nuts bolts and even screws can be loosened with these two tools. I added the 8'' bolt cutters as well to my kit and they are impressive! I recommend any Knipex tool because I have 20 old tools from them that are still going. Money well spent!
These are the absolute best Tongue and Groove Pliers money can buy. Unlike more traditional "Channellock" style pliers these have much more adjustment settings, allowing you to get a much better grip on them, as the handles can close all the way . The teeth are also the best I've ever used. You could hang on these and they absolutely do not slip. I rarely ever find myself using pipe wrenches after buying these just because there that good. Price is a little steep but they are totally worth it. #sweepstakes
A high quality tool for sure. Well made. 10" is a great size. Medium for sure and probably the most versatile in the size range they offer. Very precise and grab objects well. Really enjoy these so far.
