Thanks lol.

then maybe explain to the readers why...........
OK my firm issued us with some of these, and within a couple of weeks they twisted out of shape, the edge dulled as I say it's with respect IMHO they are dross, waste of money, but hey ho what ever rocks yer boat.
What do you use now? If you don't mind me asking.
Knipex, but not those mickey mouse ones
Ah , thanks for that. Don't you just hate it when a company makes a lower standard of gear that you expect to be good quality, easy to get sucked in !
At least Snap On differentiated between their " budget range"
Thanks again.

Well to be honest, I try not to use anything else but Knipex, no I don't have shares or anything like that, I just find that they have suited me over the years, not working now, and no I aint selling any of my hand tools, they are mine, hands off, don't even think about asking, to answer your question they are OK, at least mine are lol.
I have some Knipex 95 18 165, which I suspect are similar, but without the spring and latch. Bought at this year's Sandown Elex. Very good.
I also have a pair of the stainless cutters (branded RS but likely to be Knipex). Had them for many years. Not nearly as robust, but just fine for snipping lighter cables.

Draper or wickes , LOL...

Knipex for me! 160mm 95% of the time and the 200mm pair when needed for the 10mm cable!
