Those 5" make awesome pocket pliers. Open up plenty big enough for water hose connections. I use them way more than I thought I would when I first stuck them in my pocket. The larger ones do get a tighter grip but these fit so many places other tools won't, get a great grip that's better than my old channel locks for sure. Overall a great size & more useful than I ever thought they might be.

A very informative video. I enjoy your reviews but they usually cost me money! Keep up the good work!

Soooo, rename the Pliers Wrench to the Hawk's? Alternates I had were Toucan's (they have the same beak) or the Platypus because of the long flat duck bill :)

They need an “alligator” version of the pliers wrench. I keep bugging their support about it, but nothing yet. Hate the buttons but like the parallel jaws.

Cobra: Just slide the handle up against the bolt. No need to try like with the alligator.
