While looking around for some locking pliers that were not made in China I came across Rennstieg tools.
they look like they have an interesting line up. They do have locking pliers that are made in Germany, I could not find them on their website, they can be found on page 28 of their catalog. They do have an interesting take on water pump pliers.

Those are certainly different :huh:
There other style o pliers look as if they could be handy if you were to spend your day working with one size a pipe all day.

They don’t look very comfortable to hold.
The ones you show there are very very similar to my Rothenberger set which are very good at what they do, but the jaws are not very deep and wish they made other models with deeper jaws.
