these are pliers you seek my friend
Here's a breakdown:
Channellock 460- 4.25" jaw capacity - $30
Irwin Groovelock 16" - 4.50" jaw capacity - $40
Knipex Cobra 400- 3.75" jaw capacity - $60
Channellock 480- 5.50" jaw capacity - $50
Irwin Groovelock 20" - 6.00" jaw capacity - $50
Knipex Cobra 560- 4.75" jaw capacity - $100
The Knipex Cobras have a superior jaw design - they grip better than a pipe wrench and grip round pipe a lot better than the Channellocks, but the Channellocks are very good pliers as well, very durable and like you've noticed, probably the most popular choice. And the Knipex are obviously about exactly double the price and slightly less jaw capacity. The Irwin Groovelocks are another good choice - they function and have a jaw design very similar to the Knipex at a cheaper price. They are made in Taiwan however.
