Those things are huge, what's the application?

Quick question about the toe nail polish, what color is it?

These are a little overkill for oil filters. you can get all 3 sizes of the channelock oil filter pliers for less than these cost

They can be a pain, and they do pinch your hands which results in lots of swearing and tossing them accross the shop. I mostly use mine for oil filters, pressing brake pistons back and squeezing exhaust flages together..

Knipex one day..

Pass. I helped dad with some house plumbing over christmas. After 2 minutes of using channellocks I was ready to toss the things out the f'ing window. I quickly remembered why I pay more for Knipex pliers.

Yup, its easy to take good stuff for granted until you try someone elses stuff :thumbup:

You buy them, find that they're too big for your toolbox and then you buy a bigger toolbox. ;)

What can you do with them? Oh, the possibilities are endless!

I just got rid of all my large tool boxes, I do have 2 left that they'd fit in but they're going as well.
