Just by looking it seems like yet another button based adjustment water pump plier? WIth an interesting jaw pattern? Maybe I missed something?

They seem to have a button-lock mechanism similar to Knipex,  Except the button is plastic, and the jaw design is still the same old Channellock that rounds off everything it touches.

I have some pairs of channellock even if here in Italy are impossible to get.... You can find it on Amazon only.
Well these pliers are very simple and suitable for tasks where precision is not required. If so I tend to grab my knipex mostly.
