KNIPEX Tools 00 20 06 US2, Pliers Wrench 3-Piece Set

These are quite expensive, but if you can stomach the price, they are GREAT. You will never want to use a crescent wrench again.The 10:1 levering on the jaws makes these absolutely steady when used on hexagonal or square nuts or bolt heads. You can achieve nearly the same convenience as a ratchet by relaxing your grip on the backswing - it has enough play to slide over the corners until you squeeze it back against the parallel sides. It's not at all hard to use this way without damaging the fasteners, which I was pleased to find out.This means instead of fumbling around for the right wrench or socket, you can just use this one tool on nearly any size fastener. The middle size tool covers most of what you want to do, but the large size and the small size are handy - for holding the other end of the bolt, or for the biggest or smallest fasteners.It can grip TIGHTLY when used to hold a bar or sheet of something, too, although since the jaws are smooth it's not a total replacement for pliers. It IS a total replacement and a huge improvement over the familiar crescent wrench, though.Can't say enough about how nice this tool is to use. If you like to spoil yourself or use tools a lot, it's worth the cost. Get only the middle size if you want to save money.

They work really well and save you from having to carry around a bag full of combination wrenches so far they have done a good job at not rounding off any fasteners however there are still some situations where you can't avoid using a wrench instead (things are just rediculously tight). They advertise that they don't scuff fasteners and I have found that to be true of everything but brass but the marks are superficial and I have never even come close to rounding out a fastener with them. My only complaint is that they're a little bit on the pricy side but are definitely a worthwhile investment if you use them every day.

Product arrived quickly as described and in good condition. I would not hesitate to order from Bowers Tool Co. again.

I love these tools.Great slip joint to get over nuts in hard to reach places. Does not strip nuts.I used these in a food processing plant to put my equipment together after a cleaning.Now I have a set for home and a set for work.

I bought these for my work on general aviation and they have been a godsend. The adjustability and the smooth jaws makes it very versatile and leaves no scratches or imprints. The three different pliers are great for working for any size problem!Definitely one of the best purchases I've made!

Before buying these I had always been a Channellock guy. I had my gripes about them, but they were never a big deal so I just ignored them.But since buying these, I probably won’t go back. They don’t have the slack that channel locks develop. They don’t have that sloppy kind of feel. The pressure you can apply is great. I never have any slipping issues. I use mine daily when working on Sloan flushmates and things like that.To sum it up, can you complete the job with a cheaper alternative? Yes. 100%.Are these a good buy in the long term? In my opinion, absolutely. The price initially pissed me off, BUT after having and using them frequently, I get it. Buy these if you want long term quality.

Work very well but take a while to get accustomed to.

Had the 4 inch ones for years, bought these finally and love them. Truly nothing I've found wrong, if you know you know.
