Knipex tools are indeed very, very nice, but they typically come with a hefty price tag. It is difficult to find pliers that beat Knipex in terms of quality, but several brands come very close.

I don't know if the Channellock will do the same, but I'm sure they are much cheaper. BTW I have some Knipex plier wrench and the jaws stay parallel.

It says it has smooth jaws, then the next sentence says the teeth are at a right angle. the channellock description is funny.

I find that Knipex feel more refined than the Channellocks although both are worthy tools http://www.knipex.com/index.php?id=1216&L=1&page=group_detail&parentID=1368&groupID=1500 If you want to upgrade that Channellock, Knipex makes an awesome tool they call a pliers wrench.

Highly recommended! I can’t say if it will be more useful to you than a deadblow, but I have that Wiha mallet and it’s very nice…good replacement face selection, and the balance is spot-on.

I own a few of the comfort grips and they have a good balance between the traditional hard grip and the new, 'trendy', soft grip handle. The grip may not be for everyone (ergonomically speaking), so it might be wise to purchase a single screwdriver to try it out. I think the Wera screwdriver set is a good deal.
