would be much better.
The cobras are amazing. The smooth jaw pliers are some of the best tools I've ever used. The small ones are really flipping handy.

The cobra 125mm small ones are killer too.
Also the little bolt cutters are amazing and have a great puller on them too.

It's all expensive and I have a lot of their stuff. I'm happy every time I pull one of them out of my bag. Highly recommended
I just grabbed one of these and it is great, I hope https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00I8N282O/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

As I mentioned in another pliers thread, Pliers with parallel jaws and mechanical advantage. They aren't cheap, but the Knipex 86-03-125 are the only way I can work 14ga anodized titanium without marring up the anodizing. Joining 14ga titanium JPL5 is a bitch, take my word for it. TRL has some nylon jaw pads that can be cut down to fit them as well.

Check this stuff out. You will use this stuff a lot.
I'd also recommend looking into Snap-on's extra long wrenches in the 7/32-1/4", 5/16-3/8", and 7/16-1/2" sizes.
It can work as a "pass-through" socket in a pinch, on the smaller sizes where the bolts will fit through the square-drive hole.
Their site shows it pictures with an adjustable wrench, which seems less tedious than always trying to find the exact wrench to use with 'em - Milwaukee should hurry up and include a knock-off 6" Knipex Pliers-Wrench with these sets.
I often find myself spinning a nut on grasping the outside of a round deep socket, these squared bottoms will help with hand-spinning like that.
A 6-point design (like a spark plug socket) would've allowed you to use the box-end side of a wrench, for more indexing options and more positive holding - if they wanted you to use real wrenches... that is why I think these sockets should be used with a Pliers-Wrench (Knipex) instead. And to be different, but I have a Stahlwille deep that has a square bottom, so it's not like they invented this concept or anything, but I still appreciate it.
