I have a KNIPEX plied wrench the 150mm or 7.5”. It’s very handy for showers, supply lines, etc. I keep an 8” bahco style adjustable for times when I can’t reach it with pliers. And a 12” for the core drills, big nuts, brass fittings. For pliers, I use the old school 12” channel locks and 10”. When you can operate them one handed it’s hard to switch. When you can buy two for the price of one KNIPEX. When you can replace the pliers in town without mailing them to Germany it’s nice too.
Pretty much you need are 2 knipex cobra pliers and 2 knipex pliers wrenches. Btw the slipjoint style pliers are called alligator, the cobra is with the push-button 😉
Sparky here and I will agree, Knipex makes the best Pump Pliers I will never use any other tongue & groove or pump pliers (channellocks to everyone else) besides Knipex Cobras...I even replaced all my Adj Wrenches with the Knipex Pliers Wrench. Even replaced my Linesman Pliers with Knipex's bc they are the lighest and have the best cutting edge out of Klein, Channellock, Greenlee, Ideal, Etc....
Knipex pliers are really great and I have the same set as you. However, in my opinion, USA channel lock pliers are the best. I made the mistake of falling victim to buying cool high quality, thinking they would work better. They don't. Channel lock gets it done. Love their slip plyers, everything else they mAke is ok.
I've never wore out a tape until I bought a FatMax. After 3 in a year I bought a regular Stanley and the spring is still like new. Instead of pushing it in by hand everytime. FxxK FatMax would be putting it politely.
Not a fan of Stanley. Carpenters use Stanley. Top 5 Tools I'd recommend for Apprentice's would be: Adjustable Wrench, Groove Joint Pliers, Tape Measure, Lenox 6-1 driver set, and a Lenox or Milwaukee torpedo level. Always carry a Black Sharpie for marking. Not Pencil. Regards, a Licensed Master Plumber, Licensed Plumbing Contractor and Licensed Mechanical Contractor.

11:18 when it comes to a level get a Stabila level. They are the best when it comes to levels.
No basin wrench?

Instead of getting a pair of knipex pliers, get one and get a 8 inch wide jaw spanner to go with it.
