Yes, it looks like the ones in the link, can't really tell the size but mine are the same size as my pliers/wrench - maybe 8-9" long. Not as much leverage as 12" channel-locks but will not slip. The cable cutter has crimp notches on the handle side of the pivot - they're great for crimping cable ends. Top quality tools. There was an article on cyclingtips recently about someone that cut the blades of the pliers/wrench down to 2mm thickness so that it would work as a cone wrench. Basically covers all usual sizes in one tool. I would buy one of those, since most of the hubs I need to service are cup and cone.
