KNIPEXAlligator® Water Pump Pliers black atramentized, with non-slip plastic coating 180 mm (self-service card/blister) 88 01 180 SB

Brilliant

Exactly what you’d expect from Knipex.

I got these for a particular job, knowing that they would be useful in other ways in future. There are cheaper options, but these are actually German-made, and Knipex are a dependable brand. There is a version with shaped grips rather than dipped, but I balked at the extra £10 for some plastic. Were they used regularly, it would make more sense. The design is unremarkable, and in truth it takes a little care to adjust the jaws by moving the part-circular pin to another hole. They seem solid enough, with only a little play and a tiny misalignment of the jaws. They are probably better than most, and should last much longer.

King of pliersNo doubt

Good little tool and very quality . I used it primarily for cable glands etc.. the only bad side is the locking mechanism is a bit poor

Perfect size for my tool pouch, and excellent quality, very strong grip - should last years.

Good price and was only about a Euro more than my Bacho one . It feels a lot better in the hand than the Bacho and the slide more freely as well.

bought these to replace an old pair that were worn out and not great quality, these are worth paying the extra money for, really well made and well finished would not hesitate to recommend them 10/10
