Pliers for home auto work

[ADSR]

Don't forget Wilde. Made in the USA and the OEM for brands like Proto.

I especially like the new flush fit pliers. They have several varieties.

+1 for the Wilde's. I bought the 2 flush slips are they are awesome!

OP, check this review from a woodstock....

My pliers are Snap-on, Klein and Knipex. Oddly, I've never owned a pair of Channellocks. However, I have bought a bunch of them in the past year for gifts and to resell. I'm really impressed with their quality and value. If you search the Channellock bargains on the 'net, there is no reason to settle for imported junk.

I like Channellocks, and also have a few Knipex. I don't think you can go wrong with either brand. The Channellocks are pretty good quality, USA made and are affordably priced. They're also relatively available at just about every hardware store and big box store out there. Knipex are a little bit expensive but I doubt that anyone will knock them for their quality. Other than a few basic models found at Sears, Knipex are harder to find in the average Ace Hardware, Home Depot, Lowes type places. I have a few old Western Forge, made in the USA, Craftsman branded pliers from the 1980s and 1990s that have held up great too.
