What they say

It was kind of hard for me because I'm very biased with these to go to something else and say, oh, man, well, we'll see. You can get a set of these with a set of 420s and a set of 440s plus a free screwdriver for a couple dollars more than I paid for these bad boys. Right? These bad boys right here were $33. When you get something that costs $33 and isn't this small, you just kind of laugh. I kind of laughed. I showed my wife. She definitely laughed. Thought I was a little bit crazy and said, what are you doing? And I'm like, hey, Wrangler star suggested these things. You know who that guy is? You know how many subscribers he's got? And she's like, what? All right. Well, whatever. Whatever floats your boat. I swapped these out for my 426s and I've been rolling around with these at work. I've been doing all kinds of backflow stuff, taking out plugs, taking off caps, testing steam. These things have been awesome. I don't think they have slipped on me once, which is very impressive. Now you can see these are definitely two different styles of jaws, right? This one is actually made for that crazy twist grip. I haven't seen that channel lock actually makes something like these in this size. I know they make something like these in a bigger size but I haven't seen them in this size. Another thing about these is that they lock in the place that you want them to, which I think is pretty awesome. It's a little patented design that awesome German manufacturer came up with.
