Yeah, I got these last year for about this. Lots of pushback on the Knipex thread when I suggested these as poor man's knipex cobras. The hardening on the grippy end is not nearly to the quality level of knipex, but I think functionally they are close, especially for casual use. I like mine. I later found out you can also get straight jaws and also even smooth jaws in these. I would recommend people get some of these before putting down the big money for a Knipex to see if you like this pushbutton style. - Paul

I have found some nos Taiwan sets lurking in the back on the racks before so you might want to check for those. (only singles though so I'm not positive about this specific set) Not sure if there is a big difference but on the ones I got the finishing looked better to me.
