I got this photo from the comment section of Mobile Distributor Supply's Facebook page.

Is this for real?
Do they exist in GREEN?

I have seen the minis in pink or blue, but they have to come from Germany.

(Looking closer at the photo, it seems a strange coincidence that both items in the photo have the same number of likes, shrug)

Does it have to be Knipex?

If you are happy with VBW, and I probably would be, you might find they make something similar. In fact I think the VBW Fastgrip is similar to the Knipex Cobra!

Why is this important? Well, if you buy a VBW product, it comes in red, but they make all the pliers for Stahlwille, which come in Stahlwille green! Job done!

It is amazing to me how color sensitive I am, If they would sell the green handles I would rebut every one that I own right now. I mean it................ Stop laughing at me.

Monte, have you thought about being a seller for all kinds of German tools? You know all the brands and have an amazing selection of Germany's finest tools and products.

I have. I'm still trying to work it out but the margins just aren't there for anything other than a high volume store.

Yup, I like darker blue, but almost anything is better than red. If they did blue and green, I would have two of every pair.

Are those vinyl handles that difficult to change out? Even having them custom made would likely be less expensive than new sets of the tools, but I've never looked into it.

wanted to try the smooth grips on a couple that I use daily. I like the red grippy on the cobras, so didn't want to order a a bunch until I know I'll like them.... Shipping was quick for me. Paid friday and they got here today.
