I'm not sure how good these will be but for 10 bucks it might be worth it.

i know the older ones that use to be blue and gray where junk. not sure if they updated them since these are blue and black now.

I picked up a set the other week, I think they are pretty nice for the money.

I would agree that they are good for the money. I'm not tossing the Channellocks in favor of them but what do you want for $10. They are in the set in my trailer.

I've got a set that came with a bonus 6'' adjustable wrench.

Wouldn't pay full price, but for $2/piece they can't be beat

Looks like the price dropped to $8.98.

Save your money if you care about quality.

Junk

Just curious if those calling them junk have actually used them, or just considering them junk b.c of brand c.o.o., etc.

I only make my statement b/c I have a couple pair of these Kobalt pliers that I got through a gift exchange w/work and for what I've thrown at them...I've been impressed, especially considering how much one might wind up paying for them.

I would never give up my NWS, Knipex, Channellock, etc. but I wouldn't consider them junk b/c they've definitely held up to everything I've used them for over the past two years or so. Cutting edges still sharp on the diagonal cutters, teeth on the slip joint still sharp, etc.

Only ones I have tryed where the older models that where blue and gray. I'm not sure how these are since there blue and black. They could be the same for all I know just diff color handles.

I have the older set of these and they have held up great. I received them as a stocking stuffer about four years ago. I use them on my trucks and cars. I've even used them to demo and then remodel two bathrooms. This includes redoing the whole electrical portion of the remod. They definitely come in handy for the homeowner.
