I have a few pairs of basic Knipex alligator grips. They've always been good enough for me. Rarely come out the bag though as I tend to prefer other tools.

thsat's nothing. i have a voltmeter made in 1934 and still use it. cased in oak wood (that's something that grows on trees, not in Ikea). it has a moving coil needle, not some stupid 14 digit display that reads miillivolts when there's nowt there.
