It's been mentioned in other threads that the cman rebrands are inferior to the real Knipex.
Don't ask me for specifics I only have the Knipex,

The 10" plierswrench that I was going to buy was $59.96 at Sears and $44.00 from the Mobile Distributor Supply (and free shipping). I decided to buy them online.
How long ago did Lowes discontinue Knipex?

Anyone know how long this deal is good for?
I have both the Craftsman and Knipex versions, the metal parts are exactly the same.
As far as Sears prices, it varies almost daily. They often sell Knipex item cheaper than anyone else and always give coupons and points away to make it cheaper. If you are wait, you can get great deals. The problem is that not all items go on sale.

Aside from the grip on the handle they are identical in every way.

Jarhead, I don't think that it has an end date.
Thanks OP, looks like some good deals.
I get the pliers wrench difference, but not cobra vs. alligator. The jaws look the same, and the description talks about self adjusting for the alligator and pressing a button on the cobra. I can see the adjustment teeth (??) are very different, but I don't know what that really means as far as using them goes. Just curious, as I think I'm just trying to decide which size to get in the pliers wrench.....

I own both versions too. I cannot see any difference except what is stamped on the back. The CM are used regularly, less expensive and easier to warranty locally

I've read some other threads saying the same thing. Comparing the cman rebrands to the Knipex.
I would say the Cman's might be seconds that didn't pass QC, but that wouldn't work as the name is stamped into the tool. Unless Kipex does it different I though it was done during the forging process. I wanted to buy a few things but they didn't have anything I needed right now.

Weird, shows in stock to me. Just looked at it.
Mobile distributers has some good prices and free shipping but its tough to ignore some of Sears prices when I get these suprise points: You have $25.00 in points to use on any purchase over $60.00 plus seemingly never ending free shop max shipping

Orbis?? this may help:
