Amazon Basics3-Piece Quick Release Groove Joint Pliers Set, Drop Forged Chrome Vanadium Steel, Includes 7-inch,10-inch, and 12-inch, Black

I usually buy the Irwin Vice Grips for work, but decided to give these a try since they have the button switch on them as well. So far, they haven’t been broken whereas the Irwin ones would start slipping after a few uses. Grip is comfy, love the adjustable button not slipping, and the price isn’t high for a set of 3. You should give these a try if you’re looking for new grippers

Easy to use and price was good.

They are a cheaper knockoff of knipex, which I have had quite a few of. If I still made a living with my tools the Knipex would be worth it. Only occasionally using tools now, these will do. I love high quality tools, but can't justify the very high price of knipex for a tool that will be used 4 times a year. Only time will tell how they hold up.

Great design, comparable to major name brands. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality—definitely worth having a set handy around the house.

Great pliers stay in adjustment but easily change with the press of a button. The jaws are thinner than the standard Harbor Freight type channel lock pliers. Worked perfectly to remove drain flange from a sink. The smallest ones are similar in size to the harbor freight specials included for comparison.

Great set for the money. I bought these to try out as a spare set to my Knipex. These are almost identical with some minor differences you can only pick out when the two sets are side by side. They work very well. Extremely pleased with the purchase, I would highly recommend for someone who has Knipex and wants a back up that’s economical OR the person that wants to try out and own this style of plier without dropping name brand prices.

I had lost a pair of namebrand channel locks and needed to replace them. I saw these Amazon basics channel locks, and the set of three was cheaper than the namebrand ones that I had.They feel and handle as good Knipex or Milwaukee and would buy these again.

Let me start by saying I think these are probably a big step up from some of the low cost house brands from the big box stores. I haven't tried an exact equivalent from any of those brands, but based on other types I pliers I've tried, these are better than Husky, Cobalt, Great Neck, etc.These are very clearly "inspired by" the design of Knipex Cobra pliers. For me, just doing some light repairs around the house, they will get the job done, but the build quality was disappointing. My main gripe is that the slot where the handles come together is too wide, allowing the jaws to shift side to side a bit. As a result, the jaws never really close in alignment. They still grab on, but it's not exactly confidence inspiring that they have such a loose tolerance right out of the box.
