Review on πŸ”§ Knipex 3-Piece Assembly Pliers Set, Model 00 20 11 by Rick Malloy

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Knipex became Harbor Freight and we weren't even warned.

Why did I have to carefully deburr, smooth and remove grease and metal dust in production when I bought a pair of pliers from a renowned German manufacturer of the highest quality hand tools? It's amazing how ugly these things have gotten. Please Knipex, we are all fans of quality tools, which is why we buy your products, but obviously you are starting to save. If I were to open a factory making cheap imitations of your products, I would at least inspect, deburr, and clean/regrease every tool before it left the factory. This lack of care tells everyone that you will not meet the high standards and I have no plans to buy more. It sucks because I've loved and bought so many of your tools in the past, but the tools I got match port shipping and at least they let me get free replacements if I'm unhappy. Please do a better job or you will lose the reputation you have earned for so many years.
