So I found these Knipex pliers at a garage sale for $20 – the 8-inch cobra and the 10-inch pliers wrench, both in near mint condition! I know Knipex is top-tier but I'm more of a woodworker, so I don't use pliers much. Should I keep them or flip them for a profit? What would you guys do?

Dude, that's a steal! Knipex pliers are like the Rolls Royce of pliers. I've got a few and they're my go-to for any tough grip. The pliers wrench is super handy for turning bolts without damaging them – great for furniture assembly or adjusting table saws. Keep them, you'll use them more than you think. Plus they'll outlast you if you treat 'em right.

I'm with Hank – keep 'em. I'm a woodworker too and I use my Knipex cobras all the time for clamping, removing stubborn nails, or whatever. They're worth every penny new, so for $20 you got a bargain. If you really don't need them, you could sell them for like $60-70 each on eBay, but honestly, they're tools you'll never regret having. Congrats!

That's a good point. I guess I'll keep them. I might find a use for the pliers wrench when I'm assembling stuff. Thanks for the input, guys! I also found a couple of other tools at that sale – maybe I'll post later. This forum is great for this kind of advice!
