These are the BEST pliers on the market, in my opinion. Yes they are more expensive but you get what you pay for.
Only issue I have is actually getting a good pair. One would expect superior quality control based on the reviews and being made in Germany, however, that does not seem to be the case.
I ordered 4 of these from amazon and have returned 3 due the jaws not lining up and them being excessively loose / wobbling. I understand that a little play is acceptable, however, 1 of them looked like it was a badly used return and the other 2 were just not finished correctly. The 4th one though was absolutely perfect with the jaw aligning perfectly and no wobble at all.
Note, I have other Knipex tools and they were perfect out of the box. So maybe the issue is with 鶹 recycling returned items?
Hopefully, your experience will be different than mine but just in case make sure you buy from a seller that has a good return policy.
