I bought Knipex Cobra 250mm grips from Amazon for about 15 quid at the beginning of the year. I've now got about 3 pairs & without question they're the best I've ever owned. First tool out the toolbag & used all day. Don't waste your money buying anything else.

Rothy re-badge a lot of tools they sell & some are of very poor quality. Buy the Knipex Cobras ones & if you can't get on with them let me know & I'll buy them from you at the price you paid. I'm that confident they're the best!!

Rothy quality is shyte nowadays.

So your saying the rothys bnq sell maybe a poorer standard than rothys sold at screwfix or a plumbers merchants? Are your knipex the quick realise button ones?

Button type are absolute shyte.....it frustrates the fook out of me when using someone else's @ work..

Tools are very personal. I kitted out a previous underling with an identical set of hand toys. But they never felt right when I was using them.


Always knew who's Bacho adjustables were who's just by the feel of the adjustment wheel.


*editted because of sodding autocorreckt.

Well Steely, if you've been swinging on a set of 36 Stillies for the last 50 years a button maybe hard for you to master?
