Did you get them, are they any good? I'm considering some for myself though they are quite pricey at over 30 quid so I'd expect them to be high quality and long lasting (and a likely target for theiving scum).

no, ive got a set of 160mm knipex shears that can cut meter tails.

i got a big set of knipex for ÂŁ40

there rated for 70mm stranded. i cut a lot of micc with them a while ago and went through easily even 4L2.5 etc (well the old equivilent it was from a 70's panel (found a can of newky brown and a paper wedged behind)

no most thiefs are on the lookout for common brands e.g. knipex and ck

they see wiha and leave them alone cause they cant hide them well.

my old snips (over 4 years old) are still blindingly shiny
