KNIPEX End Cutting Nipper with Plastic Coating 280 mm, 68 01 280

Nice tool Fil solid tool

Excellent

I suppose it's a sign of middle age that I get excited about upgrading my existing sets of pliers every now and then. So far I've replaed an old pair of slip pliers with the small Knipex Cobras, supplemented my full size [and bulky] bolt cutters with the mini Knipex ones and have now added these Knipex end cutters to replace a cheapo pair I got from Lidl which broke on their first outing. What else can I say? If you're looking at Knipex, you already know they are the Rolls Royce of pliers and usually come at Rolls Royce prices. These end cutters are actually pretty reasonably priced for Knipex. Some of the other pliers they make go for such ridiculous amounts of money that I can do no more than window shop. If these last as well as my other Knipex have [so far!] it'll be money well spent. When it comes to hand tools it's often a case of "buy cheap, buy twice"

It seems original, and feels Knipex, but the ‘original packaging’ is a plastic bag on the head and wrapped in a unmarked sheet of cardboard. Maybe Knipex is packed by Cosa Nostra? Buy it, just know what to expect!

just what my son needed for work good grip

Very good

After using many cheapo wire nippers that all were pretty useless I decided to spend a bit more money and get the best. Its a great little tool and it has been used daily for many weeks twisting wire fencing clips and cutting off. Twists 2mm wire effortlessly and will snip up 2.5mm with ease too. Its as sharp now as when bought and fully free at the hinge. Oiled after every days use to keep in tiptop condition. The wide gape means you get a great twist every time without fumbling. Great tool!

Very good tools
