[leespark2009]

I like Knipex for side cutters.

Knipek ok Ck but the Bacho ones are good as well.

Knipex rule in cutter land.

Although the Draper expert 180mm ones are putting a smile on my face at the mo too.

 

[scotsparky]

well Lenny as Draper baought Knipex and elora and Georerg ( the wrentch company) as well as others they are remamrkably simmilar.

I only know this as i was stuck in a shop in glasgow and given the history lesson my an old guy behind the counter. Sadly the shop is shut. (vics tool store in Partick in Glasgow)

It's the price that drew me to em, knipex 180's are £25-30, whereas the draper ones I paid £14 for.

Dont get me wrong you get what you pay for and all that but so far no problems with em at all.

Hi Baz

Are those the "S" range type ones with the all red insulation on the handles, or the normal ones with red and yellow handles. I meant the normal ones.

 

[bazza2541]

Red and Blue.

[Guest123]

By my calcs thats about £33. Prices are a lot higher with you then Baz.
