Doesn't sound silly to me at all. My personal favorite is a pair of slip joint pliers. You'll find me in some dark, uncomfortable, dusty, nasty place, squeezing things really hard but with ease with these guys.
I'm up to at least 8 different Knipex tools now. A pair of wire rope cutters, because I trusted them to cut well. Small bolt cutters, for easily cutting small diameter rod, nails, fence wire, etc. Cobra serrated jaw pliers in 3 different sizes, and Pliers Wrench in 3 different sizes. (One each for car set, toolbox set, and TSA-small enough laptop bag set.

Love a good pair of channel locks, myself. My favorite tool i own is a Dewalt grinder. That thing has some miles on it, grinds like new.
What is your take on Knipex? I got my dad a set a few years back. He loves them.
