Very nice pistol grip (angled) pliers

Good overall first impression as to the design and workmanship of these pliers.
One outstanding feature is the lenght and width of these pliers provides for excellent reach.
One caution on any tools in this muti-function and price class is can they do everything well.
Only time will tell!
I have a Minor concern regarding wire stripper gage lapels.

Update::
I have downgraded my review of these pliers because I believe German made Orbis and Irwin versions to be a better value at this price mark.

The EZ Red product may be better suited as a Mechanics or Electronics tech tool because of its smaller size. Still for most users the Irwin and Orbis products are superior for most uses.

These are great general purpose pliers.  They have plenty of leverage and a convenient reach to get into tight places.  They are tougher than regular needle nose pliers and the cross-hatch jaw pattern gives an excellent grip.  The tips are small enough to form wire loops but strong enough to tighten fasteners. They are generally the first pliers I reach for if I'm not doing small precision work.  I never understood why Channellock stopped selling these in regular consumer channels.

The best $10 I've spent on a pistol yet.  The sandpaper grips are very grippy in both wet and dry conditions.  I put these grips on before a rainy IDPA match and there was absolutely no slippage.

The laser cuts are precise and fit perfectly to the frame of my XD.  The grips do have cuts for the subcompact model, but careful removal of the backing material keeps everything in one piece for the service model.

Probably not the best option for a concealed-carry gun, as the sandpaper can tear up clothing, concealment garments, and irritate skin.  But if you've got tougher hands, it's absolutely the best way to keep the gun where it is without adding bulky rubberized / fitted sleeve grips.

Excellent pocket EDC (Every Day Carry) tool. Good set of tools, weight is just about at what is the maximum for comfortable carry in pants front pocket. Shape when closed is round and unobstructive, does not snag when putting it in or taking it out of the pocket. Good fit and finish on the tools, very good quality pliers for this size, absolutely no rattling or loose pivot, very precise plier point - can easily do a tweezers job. Drivers are precise and robust, the smallest flat head is useful for adjusting the small screws on your glasses - but this will depend on the size of the screws you have - they work on mine.

Could use a bigger knife blade - there is room for that in the tool. Good out of the box sharpness.
Non-removable handle scales can be an issue when dirty - small sand easily gets underneath them and is difficult to get out.
Some may prefer to have a file on hand - there are other options from Leatherman with them. I prefer scissors and saw.

Be extra careful when opening the drivers - they are very small, tight fitting and have sharp edges. Very easy to cut yourself. This gets easier with usage though.

Overall - very happy with it. Took some research to choose. Could use some minor improvements, especially the size of the knife blade and handle scales.

I think these are quality pliers at a very good price.  They seem to work just fine for anything that needs flat nosed pliers.

I purchased these pliers as an upgrade from my previous pairs. I work with very small findings, so I thought the 5" size would be good. I would probably purchase the regular, larger size if I need a replacement in the future, but the handles on these are comfortable, and a big plus is that they are non-marking on metal. Good quality and will last me for many years.

Some of the tools are a little hard to get out but overall I'm very pleased. The spring loaded pliers are EXTREMELY nice. Feels good in your hands.

I have many pistol-grip clamps (some call them one-handed clamps) in my collection.  They're fast and easy to use and are perfect for many tasks.  While they can't apply the same bone-crushing pressure that a screw-style clamp can, they make up for it with convenience.

All the pistol-grip clamps in my collection are Irwin brand and I've been very happy with them but this new Crescent clamp is very impressive and, in some ways, superior.

The clamping pressure is quite strong.  Still not equal to a threaded clamp, but more powerful than my old clamps.  The mechanism that allows the outer pad to be removed and installed on the opposite end of the bar to create a spreading clamp is spring-loaded.  This is an improvement over my old ones. The Crescent's non-marring pads have more surface area as well.

The connect system that allows these clamps to be ganged together at right-angles seems a little gimmicky, but might come in handy sometimes.  But don't expect to do any nailing or heavy-duty sawing when the clamps are joined with the connect system.  It isn't that strong.

These clamps are an improvement over the older generation of pistol-grip clamps and I'll likely buy more.

My intial evaluation is heavily wieghted by the price, but these appear to be good quality tools well designed and comfortable in the hand. The cushioned grips are a definite plus the even my Klines don't have.  My only complaint is cosmetic they appear to lack a final high finish. Of course as in most tools much depends on the metal used and how they hold up.  Still if only used as a backup spare these are a fantastic value for the money.

These are excellent vice grips. Quality is on par with other Knipex tools, so it is solid, well constructed, made from superior materials, and most importantly: Made in Germany. The Germans know how to make tough stuff, and they do it well. Knipex brand tools are no exception.

Knipex does not disappoint with these pliers. I considered the Irwin brand when purchasing these, but given the stellar performance I've received from my other Knipex tools, I purchased these instead. They work very well and although I have only used them a handful of times, I know they will last a very long time.

Knipex brand tools seem to be replacing many of the tools in my arsenal. They perform well and stand up to the test again and again. Every time a tool of mine fails me, whether it's through normal use, abuse, or expectations - I look for a better one. These days, when I go looking for tools to buy, Knipex is one of the first brands I check. They don't make every type of tool, but the tools they do make, they are top-notch construction and performance. I have yet to be dissatisfied with any of my Knipex tools in any way, shape, or form.

I have had these Plier's for appox. 4 weeks and if you can get the face for them onto a nut, bolt, screw, ect... You'll be able to turn/remove it with no to very little slip. The cushioned grip is extremely comfortable for short or long term usage and also allows the user to gain more torch on the object in which you are working with. I have also complimented this tool with the Standard version which is very similar in operation and functionality!!! A Definite 5 Star in my Book!!! I'd recommend them to anyone that could benefit for a little extra torch with a lot less effort!!!

After much research and reading many reviews, I am glad I got these and not something cheaper.  They work really well, and have an open center in the hinge area allowing you to grip and straighten wire while the pliers "swallow" up the end of the wire.  Would love a narrow jaw set pair now as well.

This set of snap ring pliers provides a wide selection of the most common pin sizes and nose angles and the build quality is excellent.  While changing from inside to outside operation is a little more time consuming than the "cam action" pliers offered elsewhere, it only takes about 30 seconds to remove the handle pivot screw and then replace the screw in an alternate location to reverse the action, which I find perfectly acceptable for something that doesn't require changing very often.  Also the simplicity and precision of the pivot screw design compared to the "cam" design provides a smoother movement with better pin alignment than my old cam action pliers (which are rather sloppy and make it more difficult to hold the snap ring).  Some reviewers have complained that the pins on the Lang Tools snap ring pliers are not perfectly straight, and this is true, but this is what you want and is NOT a design or quality defect.  Pliers with perfectly straight pins make it more difficult to hold the compressed or expanded "opened" snap ring because the snap ring tends to slide off the pins.  By setting the pins on the pliers at a slight angle, the angle of the pins captures the snap ring against the nose of the pliers and keeps the opened snap ring from flying off the pliers.  This same angled pin design works for both inside and outside snap rings because the angle effectively reverses when the pliers are reset for inside or outside action -- a very clever and useful design.  Due to this feature and due to the tight tolerance and wide selection of pliers in the set, I have found that it is actually much easier to remove snap rings that are in difficult to access locations.  With this Lang set usually I can remove the snap ring on my first try, whereas with my old cam action pliers with changeable pins, it took me many tries and fiddling with the pin setting in the pliers before I could get the snap ring off.  Thus for me, the Lang set is a time saver -- and is certainly a frustration saver -- I really hated fiddling with the replaceable pins on my old "all in one" cam action pliers.  I am so pleased with this Lang Tools snap ring plier set that my old pliers are now in the trash.

My husband recently used X-Treme by KR Tools' heavy duty needle nose pliers with a cutter and gripper to fix a leaking faucet in our bathroom. We were impressed. The attractive four piece pliers set has an 8" adjustable wrench, 7" linesman pliers, 6" long nose pliers and 6" diagonal pliers. My husband liked the tight cutter openings of the the pliers grippers, the comfortable warm to the touch insulated handles that formed to his hand and the camouflage design. He said the pliers smooth black nickel finish reduces corrosion and the insulated handles and grippers reduce slippage. We believe KR Tools' heavy duty four piece pliers set is a great asset to any tool kit.

This is a well made rough out leather holster that grips my PPK/S quite firmly. The leather molds well to the pistol and with it's adjustibilty rides just right in my waist band. The only objection I have is with the clip, its a hard plastic not metal as I had thought. It's not flimsy just different. The holster I received is different than the one pictured as mine has only one screw and two holes, one above the other. Ride height is adjusted by placing the screw in either the upper or lower hole. The angle is adjusted using the same screw and rotating the clip either forward or back. Castellations on the back of the clip, surrounding the screw holes, grips the leather locking it in place when the screw is tightened. The clip can also be removed and the holster carried in your pocket, if you so desire. Looks like I'll be carrying this holster/pistol combination for years to come.

Just installed these traction grips on my cz p07 gen 2(large backstrap). I must say im highly impressed. Easy install, good semi aggressive texture. A quality upgrade to a quality firearm.
