They are also sometimes called groove and joint pliers.

Knipex makes the hand's down best pump pliers.

where did you get that info MDShunk? I am so burnt out on converting metric to standard, hehe. Oh wait a minute, you sure that is from a Knipex source? The item numbers are wrong, and it doesn't look like Knipex on the pliers.

Knipex Cobras are what I use. They adjust better and grip better than the Channelocks do.
Also very few people around here have them, so it's not hard to spot where my tools are.

Dangit. Those are Rothenberger, but I can't for the life of me find their parent company. I know they are UK based and I think the duramont grips are German. If Knipex is their parent company, that would make sense, but I think our Knipex rep would have told us about them. If anyone knows more about Rothenberger tools, please chime in. I'm stumped.

Yeah, that's a Rothenberger catalog page. They sure are a dead ringer for Kinpex pliers. I suspect very much they are private brand labeled Kinpex pliers. I have used Rothenberger threading equipment, but I don't know squat about anything else they make. High quality, but that's all I know. Their line closely mirrors Ridgid. The UK forum guys use Collins in place of Rothenberger sometimes, as if they're the same company.
