I vote channellock. Extremely high quality, made in the USA. I always go with them unless you want something they don't have, then go with something more exotic like knipex.

+1 on the plyworx racks. They do wonders. Your pliers will take up 1/3 the space they do without them.

There are many HF products that I love, but their pliers are JUNK!

Some of my favorite channellocks

All of my pliers have been Snap On for a very long time. Then I ordered a pair of NWS pliers just to see what all the hubub was about. Now I'm trying to replace all of my Snap On pliers and cutters with NWS. It's a tough pill to swallow. NWS pliers absolutely blew me away, I honestly didn't know how nice a set of pliers/cutters could feel. Ash is great too, definitely kudos to him for making NWS tools available easily and reasonably priced.

I would say my second favorite pliers is Knipex and then Snap On & Channellock are tied for third.

This is just out of the brands I've tried. Certainly I've missed trying some worthy candidates.

Can anyone recommend me some right angle needle nose pliers? Looking for comfortable and high leverage. Thx
