You’ve been successfully using pliers to pull the drawer open by the missing knob’s screw.
Uh-oh! You left the drawer ajar in a pinch, forgot about it, and then caught your favorite sweatpants on the screw, making an ugly hole! And you don’t have gray thread to match!
That’s how you end up with a pair of “drawer pliers” that are a special entity not to be moved - use another pair of pliers if you need them somewhere else!
Oh no! After trying for 30 min, looks like you need a new knob after all!
[go to hardware store −30 min −$8]
[use the cap of a recently emptied detergent bottle]
[accept that you need to open it with a pair of pliers now]
Pliers it is, then.

[go buy new sweatpants - 12$ - 25 minutes]
[go buy matching gray thread - 1.30$ - 1h]
[use a different thread - 8 minutes]
[continue with the hole in your sweatpants]
[tape a brick onto the hole to cover it up - 3 minutes]
