  • Best on the market.
Best on the market. All knipex tools are top notch. Smooth to open and close. Very versatile and cuts wire with ease. They fit nicely in the hand and the leverage is great.

  • Will last a lifetime
Love these pliers. I originally bought a large set of different pliers to gift to someone starting out in the HVAC trade. As these Knipex tools started arriving, I checked them out. I was really impressed with the feel and quality of the tools. I had bought all new Irwin pliers for myself earlier the same year. So I ended up keeping the Knipex tools and gifting the nearly new Irwin tools. I couldn't be happier (and so is my son in law.). Admittedly, the first few tools that arrived were smaller than I expected. The Knipex 8" diagonal cutters, for example, were considerably smaller than the 8" Irwin brand. But, I have smaller hands so it worked out great for me. Everything about these pliers is great. The feel great. They're balanced very nicely. They operate very smoothly and the ones that adjust work very nicely. The jaws on the gripping pliers are fantastic. I tend to use the smaller "channel locks" for almost everything. They do a great job. ... show more

  • A cut above
Let me cut to the chase: the KNIPEX Diagonal Cutters are a game-changer. It's Knipex, need I say more? The brand's reputation for quality precedes itself, and these cutters certainly live up to the hype. First off, the build quality is impeccable. These cutters feel sturdy and durable in hand, a testament to the craftsmanship that goes into every Knipex tool. The high leverage design makes cutting effortless, even through tougher materials, saving both time and effort. I was lucky enough to snag these at a great sale price, and I couldn't resist picking up a second pair for my father-in-law. That's how confident I am in their performance. They're exactly what I needed to round out my tool collection, and I have no doubt they'll serve me well for years to come. In short, if you're in the market for a reliable pair of diagonal cutters, look no further than the KNIPEX. With Knipex, you know you're getting quality, and these cutters are no exception. Trust me, you won't be disappointed. ... show more

  • Best you can get
The best you can get , years of service under conditions they weren’t designed for but well made to the extent they will last and do it over an over again.

  • Well made and the cutting edge is perfectly aligned and zero play.
Well made and having that slight angle is huge in terms of pulling nails and leveraging them out. I am an electrician and the day these arrived to replace my non angled KNIPEX, I had about 15 outlets to raise 1". These made grabbing the plastic box nails and backing them out very easy. Perfect size.

  • Great for electricians
Love these knipex side cutters. Last pair lasted years. I prefer these over Klein (side cutters).

  • Life time tool. Buy it once, keep it for life.
Solid tool. Never disappoints. I cut wires thick or thin, electric wires, stell mesh, bicyle cables, you name it. For 5 years it still cuts like new.

  • Great price, great product
Worth every penny. Had the straight diagonals already, slightly awkward at first but really helps with speed.
