Back into this conversation. Looking for the Knipex pliers wrench. I see some on Amazon and other places for ~$60. And then I find these for 10% of that. Spoofed website or something?

AI says this is a bogus website.

One other comment. Harbor Freight has a knock-off of the 10" pliers wrench for about $40. They don't seem to carry other sizes.

I have an old portable tool kit (pliers, wrench, sockets) that I keep in the plane. I have a seperate toolkit that I take when I rent 45-46' cats in the BVI. It has a couple knipex pliers, some Zyklop screwdriver/socket kits, and the cutest little version of a Fluke multimeter you've seen. Last time I was out, the battery terminal on one of the house batteries came loose and the most approrpiate tool on board was a hammer (which worked for the short term, but I suggested to the company that it might be good to put a proper wrench on it).
