- Reviewed in Canada on January 25, 2021Verified PurchaseKnipex. I dont really need to say more. If you're a tool guy you know. If you're just the average joe out there and you think why pay around $60 when i can get a set for $15. You will only have to buy this german made quality tool once period. Im an electrician and all my pilers and wire stripping tools are knipex.

- Reviewed in Canada on November 21, 2022Verified PurchaseI like this crimping pliers, but quality is definitely poor, because it’s made in China. I have other Knipex tools, but it’s all made in Germany with great quality.
I give four stars for the dealer who replaced the first defective pliers quickly. 1 star for knipex to allow their tool made with different standards of quality.

- Reviewed in Canada on September 30, 2019Verified PurchaseGood solid tool with good functionality.
- Reviewed in Canada on December 16, 2022Verified PurchaseWhat I like is the way they handle.
What I dislike is the stamped information should be on the other side of the tool, especially since it is the other that faces the user for wiring stripping. I wonder if these are a counterfeit knock off, as knipex normally pays attention to their details.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exactly What You’d Expect from Knipex — Top Tier
Verified PurchaseThese crimping pliers are exactly what I hoped for — precise, solid, and built to last. Knipex has a reputation for making pro-grade tools, and this one lives up to it 100%. The action is smooth, the crimps are clean and consistent, and the build quality is clearly a cut above.
Comfortable in the hand even after extended use, and it just feels like a tool that’s going to last for years. No gimmicks, no sloppy tolerances — just excellent German engineering doing what it does best.
If you’ve used Knipex before, you already know. If you haven’t, this is a great place to start.

5.0 out of 5 stars Knipex quality
Verified PurchaseExcellent tool for making quick work of cutting small metric screws. If you are familiar with the Knipex name, you already know. Very good quality tool and worth the price. I’m very happy with them. They perform well. Fit and finish is what you’d expect from Knipex. Highly recommend for use with metric wire gauges and small screws.
