Review on 09 08 240 SBA Ultra High by Brian Rogers

4 stars only because I haven't used it much. I was keen to leave a review because these pliers are beautiful and appear to be of good quality. As others have said, they don't need to be hacked and open and close just fine. I used them to replace some plugs around the house and compared them to my Kleins by cutting a few wires and comparing them in parallel. As expected, Knipex has developed well. They had a large grip area at the top, they opened about an eighth more, although my littles were a hair longer and cut easier than my littles, they also opened a lot softer, even though my littles were used for about 10 months. You also get a 1000 volt safety feature with handles and they are very comfortable in your hands. I look forward to using them at work (electrician). I definitely want to add more Knipex tools to my collection now that I finally have them!
