Nice!

I do pools and love these things for cracking pvc unions, would be absolutely perfect if they were just a hair larger.

Good pliers

Good quality; also works well to remove the smaller oil filters.

AWSOME

Great set of pliers when you don't wanna use a pipe wrench. Probably also work good for larger rubber hose removal.

Amazing tool

Very versatile tool. Jaws open up wide. Never leaves my tool bag.

Depends on the pipe

I work in the piping industry and I love knipex products. When I saw these it was a no brainer, I bought them right away. I wasn't terrifically impressed when I first tried to use them. If I'm working on any thing threaded at work it is predominantly stainless steel fittings. These pliers don't have the bite that I was expecting. I think they were going for a rounded jaw to prevent maring, however the cobras seem to have a more firm clamping power. I stick with my aluminum pipe wrenches for now. I think these pliers would work great on pvc or maybe even brass as it is a softer metal, but I haven't tested that yet. They will still have a place in my tool box for the time that I can properly get good use out of them.
