Are you using shitty torx drivers? Good torx drivers hold on to torx screws quite well

The Irwin ones are less than half the price of the Knipex, and they’re still way better than using a shitty adjustable wrench. I haven’t abused them with anything stupid, but they have worked well for me so far. I just grabbed the Lenox because the 3” jaw capacity intrigued me on 10” pliers, they were $40 tho, so not as much of a price break compared to Knipex.

I just re-read the comment, have you used them from any of the companies? They’re quite tough and you can put a lot of pressure on the Knipex with no issue.

You would be surprised. It’s like screwdrivers, they look stupid-proof and even the HF cheap version would be fine, but then you strip a bunch of screws with shitty screwdrivers, and the jaws on your cheap pliers are soft as cheese and won’t grip the second time you use them. Oh and when the jaws slip on those shitty channellocks, have fun.

Guess which tools were made in a first world country? Tip: not the one with the rolled over teeth with mild use.
