It's a little bit better. All right, Craig. What makes these pliers so special? So, these right here are our Twin Grip. This is the 8-in version of it. I also have it in a 6 and a 10. So, if you look at the front, you can see we notched out the jaws in the front. So, that way if you've got rounded or tore up screw heads, you come straight down on them, you get a great bite on them. And what's really cool with this push button right here, you can open up the jaws on the maximum setting, this one will go to a 7/8. So, you can come in and stuff this way or straight down here. What is that one called, Craig? Twin Grip. And by what company? Knipex. Knipex. You pronounce the K. It's a hard K. Knipex. Thank you, sir. All right, Craig. What are we looking at with this one now? So, these are our spring clamp pliers. So, if you look at them, the jaws are recessed. They rotate in here. Locking version. So, when you go to work on the the cooling system clamps, you get it to sit in there. Squeeze until it locks, it'll click. The jaws rotate with it, so it won't pop off. And that one when you're all said and done, you can just put it back to where you need, hit the release, pops right off. And this is called what, Craig? Our spring clamp pliers.
