After buying all sorts of water pump pliers; I bought the Knipex Cobra 250mm a couple of years ago & fook me they're great!! First tool out the bag.
I paid just over 15 bangers on Amazon for them & they're the dogs danglers!!
Though I'm an auld Kunt I never really got into Footies, I have an old 6" pair that's great for traps in pedestals etc, but that's it. With Footies there's too much fannying around adjusting them.
I hope my ramblings have helped some poor sod that's got raging piles & a hangover from hell.

My current grip selection just needed a bit more leverage on the job in question See I don't like the Irwin grips, I always found that the adjustment button got in the way when tightening compression fittings. Dunno......maybe it's just me??!!! |

your ramblings are always welcome here Dick, footies are quite tiresome at times but they work well, its always worth having a choice of weapons in the toolbag, even the old bed spanner comes in handy at times,  |

Its an old joke of Dicks, Old beds of the 50/60's had a head,tail and a springed frame between them, they all where held together with 4 bolts, It was normal to get a spanner to assemble the beds and the spanner was often laying about the house somewhere, It was quite common for a bloke just starting off in the trade to put the spanner in his toolbox to add to his tool collection, So if you met a bloke on site with the bed spanner in his box, You'd know he's a new starter, |
