    Looks like Knipex 74 is the high leverage version, ie easier on the hand, but the jaws don't open as wide.

    Same length (6.25in), but the model you listed is the high leverage version

    $18 breaks the bank for a pair of pliers..?

    Those, "almost as good," brands will always eventually remind you how much (little) you saved.

    Accidentally bought 2 of these last time when they were 18.73 a pair. Not at all upset about it. These have been solid so far.

    Because it's made in Germany and will last for decades.

    Big difference. This one is the smaller NARROW head. Which I like better. Better to get into tight spaces. And work better for woodworking if you have to sort of dig out a nail in home repair.

    And still easy cutting for house electrical work..

    I use the narrow head type a lot more than the larger head styles. Only thing I like a 7 or 8 inch model. Like the 7001180

    But most people just use this size thats on sale.

    Knipex are the only tools that are meant for LIVE use. Klein isn't. Also this is cheap AF!
