Review on Knipex 8801180 7 Inch Alligator Pliers by Nathan Akers

I'm a plumber and love the Knipex Cobra Pliers. Almost all of our technicians use Knipex over-channel locks with one exception. He tried my Cobras for several days but didn't like the style of the push button controls. He's just getting used to the channel block style so I bought him this pair as they are more like the channel block style. He fell in love. He likes the feel of the grip and the lack of pinching and even admitted he holds the barrel/bolt better with less hand strain. Of course we have another Knipex-enthusiastic team in our shop.
