Review on 🔧 KNIPEX 02 01 200 Tools - High Leverage Combination Pliers: The Ultimate Multi-Purpose Hand Tool by Mike Carter

I liked these pliers. I usually prefer small, but I couldn't find a good 8 inch pair of pliers so I did some research and settled on these. I was very happy until a hole appeared on the cutting blade where I cut the wire after only a few years of use, not every day. I am the only one who uses them and have ONLY cut 14 and 12 gauge Romex copper wire. The big disappointment came when I contacted Knipex to try and use their 'lifetime' guarantee. They got back to me very slowly, and after sending the photos and explanations they still wanted me to fill out the application and send them back at my own expense so they could "evaluate" them further to see if they were covered. For real? Do you have the last pair left? Even artisans still stand behind their tools. From now on I'll stick with my small tools.
