Ive used the Knipex pliers plenty, they are great pliers and according to my boss have lasted 20 years, and the jaws still look decent, a little worn but impressively less than what you would expect for 20 years.
Ive had this set for a couple months now, jaws still look great, only small signs of wear despite being heavily used everyday for the past 2 months. I like that with these you don't have to press in the button to make the jaws smaller (unlike with the Knipex) and can just slide the jaws together. My boss also occasionally grabs for these over his because these have a slightly wider mouth, either a good thing and feels like they grab more, or a not so good thing as they dont fit into quite as tight spaces (just good to be aware of). They have very little side play, again pretty similar to the Knipex.
I cant really comment on the longevity of these (but will anyways). They likely wont last 20 years, and Im fine with that seeing as these were 1/3 of the cost of 1 singular Knipex plier/wrench, and they feel like they will last a good amount of time.
Overall these feel great, and work great. The design of the jaws makes it so that once they grab whatever you are wanting to grab (usually a nut, bolt, pipe, etc. etc.) you just need to keep applying force to the top handle and you wont lose purchase.
Id recommend them, a great step up from standard "channel lock" design for most applications.
If you need to close the jaws you can just push one handle without touching the button.
Only downside is that after years of use, the sweat from your hands may deteriorate the rubber, and the grip is mostly rubber with a small metal tang.
I use Amazon for most of my purchases and update my reviews if anything changes with the products. I do this so other Amazon users can get a real feel for the life of the product. You can look at my review which will be close to my purchase date and tell how the product is doing as time passes. I am not associated with any company and all opinions are my very own.
Update: 3 years later
I recently built a wooden toolbox to carry around my property for odd jobs. I bought blue and yellow Irwin tools for it so that I wouldn't get them confused with any of my other tools. That way I always know where they belong. These pliers were put in there too. I am quite satisfied with the quality of these Irwin tools and would put them up against any other brand.
