This along with the OP mentioning including a pair of Knipex Cobra (AKA water pump or Channel Lock) pliers reminded me of what used to be a feature unique to Knipex, but has been copied, that I am not sure a lot of people know about. Knipex Cobra along with their Pliers Wrench and others continue to grip as long as you keep pressure on the top handle in other words you don't have to squeeze them to keep them gripping, the more you press or pull on the top handle the tighter they grip so you can use a breaker bar with them and use both hands on the breaker bar. These thoughtful and useful additions are one reason I love Knipex pliers and most German tools. While I do love Knipex my favorite electrical pliers are NWS which is also German.
