Review on πŸ”§ Efficient 8-Inch Angled Diagonal Cutters: KNIPEX Tools 74 21 200 - High Leverage Design by Jeremy Hudson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Easy, quiet running, great cutting edges

One thing I've noticed about Knipex tools, their steel seems a little lighter than others, but always just as much or evenly more. These tongs worked smoothly out of the box and I oiled them anyway to stop them breaking and make them even smoother. At first they dangled at the end (at first it seems all pliers do), and now they open and close freely. Haven't handled it too roughly yet, just copper wire and blanket wires and maybe some sheet metal, but so far no gaps have been found unlike others I've used in a similar way.

Pros
  • Great leverage means less power as the rivet is closer to the cutting edge
Cons
  • No power
