I keep the 5" wrench and cobra pliers in the little tool bag under the seat of my dual-sport motorcycle.
Work great as a universal wrenches, not only for motorcycle repairs but also around the campsite.

just FYI the little 5" pliers wrench works perfectly for straightening up (or holding straight) a crooked Glock front sight.
You can also put both the 5" pliers wrench and the 5" cobra pliers in a single Blue-Force Gear 10-speed pistol mag pouch.

Unfortunately no.
Was recently honored to host a young Army E5, his wife and two little girls for a visit, BBQ and spirits. He and I were shooting buddies when he was in school in the area. So in hearing about all the cool things about EOD work I mentioned my Knipex mini pliers and wrench and he said they use a lot of Knipex tools. Very cool tools it sounded like. Been wanting to tell somebody that who would even recognize what I was talking about and saw this thread resurrected, so there you go.

They do make some great wire cutters, though.
I'm a big fan of 'Combo' or Lineman's Pliers. Which is essentially the type of end you get on a standard multi-tool.

If I could only have two sets of pliers for the rest of my life, Lineman's and 45-degree needle nose would be my choices.
While the contractors were building my parent's house, I witnessed an electrician inadvertently "weld" a set of lineman's pliers together. For 12-year-old me, it was quite an eye-opener.
