anyone own/USE knipex pliers

[grumpyvette]

DOES ANYONE HERE HAVE SOME OF THESE STYLE MULTI LEVERAGE PLIERS OR KNOW WHERE TO GET THEM AT A REASONABLE PRICE?
I got to use a set of these recently and found them rather useful, they allow you to apply a bit of increased grip over that which typical channel lock pliers apply, they are certainly useful but not in my opinion worth the $172 for a set of three I was quoted?

I don't know where to get Knipex pliers like shown Grumpy.
They are different. From picture, there is a unique pivot point.
Looks like to multiply force or applied hand torque.
Maybe an eletrician supply house.
Or Grainenger.
