One word ....... Knipex 

I wouldn't be so adamant. 
Klein Tools and Irwin work not worse, but at a price much more attractive. 
And in this review - https://toolslaboratory.com/best-linemans-pliers-buyers-guide/, KNIPEX skipped forward even unusual, but little-known Vampliers.

Irwin? Maybe you meant Channellock?

 

Forget the Vampliers, get the Engineer version. Engineer is the OEM so they're cheaper, also they make more styles including locking pliers. Japan has some great pliers manufacturers.

That's one of them, they also add slip joint and the locking pliers:

Look at the grips of your Vampliers, "Engineer" is molded into the handle.

 

The only Engineer pliers I can't recommend are the E-clip pliers, they're too thick to get under a lot of E-clips.

 

*Edit: I just looked and it seems Vampliers is now carrying most of the screw gripping designs. Last I looked they only had the three main versions.
