These are Bahco I don't buy cheap rubbish from eBay or anywhere else, I expect tools to last and don't mind if the price matches!
I've not had them long and only cut control cables and flexes with them I use a different pair of croppers for steel braid
So they're going back I'll try another pair just in case they're a dodgy batch, quite disappointed really as I do like this brand!
Although their customer service isn't great......
Recently I enquired direct about a replacement box for the 1/4" socket set I've had for 4/5 years the hinge wore out, so I contacted them re buying another to replace it,the guy said they didn't sell them and he'd see if he could sort one out for me ,I've emailed him several times with no response at all, which is pretty poor I think !
