/diy/ - Do It Yourself

Who do you think makes the best pliers? I always used channellocks as an apprentice, but five or so years ago I switched to 10-inch Knipex.

I think that they are superior to Channellocks in every way. They grip pipe and hex-stock better than channellocks every time. The 10" Knipex have a larger jaw capacity than the channellocks do. Most importantly, the way they are designed make it impossible to smash your fingers.

Really would love to know what anon thinks of SK Tools "channellocks", I was thinking about buying a pair to try out.
