Great product, well made, you will be surprised how much extra leverage you get. The fit and finish are very similar to Knipex, but they have nasty "fx3", "piano", "+50%" markings. But that doesn't detract from the excellent tool. Feels good in the hand, but. Pins because I didn't like how they rubbed my ring finger when I opened the pliers again for another cut. If you use this tool on scaffolding, please for God's sake don't cut off the anchor points.
