Sharkstar-
I’ve used both and own the pliers wrench, but for pure grip with a small contact area I’d still prefer the alligators/Cobras.
While you can squeeze really well with the pliers wrench, the smooth jaws are still more likely to move around when you’ve only got a small area to grab onto, while the teeth on the cobras really prevent slippage.
Just my 2p tho ;)

I’d have a cautious go with a decent set of grips/dogs/pipe wrenches/channel locks (delete as regionally appropriate).
