Review on πŸ”§ KNIPEX Diagonal Cutters, Multi-Component Tool (7002160) - Enhanced Searching Optimization by Brion Pine

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I love these little tongs!

My favorite wire for everything instead of using the smaller, softer steels. It seems like they will last forever. One big thing I've noticed about all the top brands lately is that while they're expensive and have a name that you might assume meant quality, they make the tools cheaper by making them cheaper loosen up. You used to be able to just walk into the store, pick up wire cutters and go. I went to Home Depot to do this with some Dewalt wire cutters and immediately returned them because the wire cutters were misaligned. I went and grabbed everything they had on the shelf to the returns desk and showed them they were all defective. Look at the photos of this Knipex and you will see how the knives are lined up. When I use others that are cheaper or at least they think they work, when you cut something it gets crushed more or less like cutting something with scissors and you don't hold the scissors very tight, the paper slips between the tailors . Something like that.

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • New competition is here
