Irwin Vise-Grip Slip Joint Pliers
The pivot moves between two positions, so one plier covers a small jaw opening and a wider one. Serrated flat jaws at the tip and a curved section behind them for round stock.
Nickel chromium steel with machined jaws and an induction hardened cutting edge, which is the part that blunts first on a plier used on wire all day. ProTouch grips.
IRWIN backs these with a lifetime limited warranty against defects in material and workmanship.

Questions
Slip joint or groove joint?
A slip joint has two positions and stays compact. A groove joint has many and opens far wider, which is what you want for pipe. For general work around a house the slip joint is the one that lives in the drawer.
Which size do I need?
The 6 in. for light work and a toolbox. The 8 in. where you want more grip and more turning force.
