Knippex "Pliers" are still far superior to this. They blew my mind when I first used them. I dont use normal wrenches at all anymore - the knippex just grip stuff so much more perfectly and with less chance of rounding and you can "ratchet" around the bolt even though they are open ended.

Same. I first saw them in the hands of a plumber doing some work at home. I bought a pair the same day. It's this kind of tool that just makes me happy when I have an occasion to use it.

If you are looking for an excellent ratchet that compliments the Knippex Pliers, take a look at Proxxon ratchet sets. They are a pleasure to work with and come in a nice metal case.

I was wonder what these were so had a look.

Found: in Australia we call them multigrips and I've got a few!

Nope - totally different. Those are known as Channel Locks over here. Watch a video of the knippex pliers in action - they are not the same at all!

there are many knipex pliers which is why the other poster is confused. I presume the ones you refer to are the "pliers wrench" that someone had linked to above:
