Hey guys, just picked up a set of Knipex Cobra pliers at a yard sale for $20 for the set! They look barely used. Are these as good as everyone says? I usually just use cheapo Channelocks but these feel nice.

Great find Carl! Knipex Cobras are top notch. The self-gripping mechanism is a game changer for stubborn nuts. I've had a pair for 5 years and they still work like new. For $20 you basically stole em.

Totally agree with Steve. I use mine daily on renos. They grip better than anything else I've tried, even on rounded bolts. Just don't use em as a hammer ;) Keep the teeth clean and they'll last forever.

You lucky dog! I paid $60 for my 10" set. Knipex is the best in class. Check if they're real - real ones have a smooth action and laser etching. If they're fakes, still decent for $20 but the real deal is worth so much more.
