They do look awkward to use lol. When you try them, tell us whatcha think i do like knipex aswell good brand

 

[Guest154]

there stuff was good when it was the orange handled gear years ago , but know its just over priced crap

 

[Spark92]

I cant remember that colour lol. But then again iv only been a spark for four years still a young gun

I've never had any problem with knipex stuff and always found it to be good quality, anytime I've bought different snips etc I've usually ended up regretting it and going back to knipex stuff, just down to personal preference I suppose
As for the price of them if they're decent and I'm using them everyday then I don't have a problem paying that for them! as I said I liked the look of them for a while now so decided to treat myself

I like Knipex but I haven't bought any for many years. Is it just me or is £47.44 expensive for a pair of pliers???

 

[Guest154]

as u say personal preference a tryed the snips and pliers over a year ago and the chrome plating started falling off after 2 months after 6 months i thru them in the bin , and went back to using the big 210mm stanley maxsteel ones they have lasted me 3 years and still going strong
