If you're in line of work that requires to use this tool often, knipex tools should be considered according to one of my contractor friends. But for the most of us, for occasional use, there are much cheaper perfectly adequate choices out there for 1/3 of price.

Anyone who has used Knipex tools knows they're worth the money. If not, well, ignorance is bliss I guess

I own two pairs of these and if you are a sparky they are worth it. Lowest I've ever seen this model is $48ish. Nicer then the Klein's because they come broken in out of the packaging.

I'm no pro but after using cheap big box and even less for most of my life, I've slowly started buying nicer stuff and had some Knipex lineman pliers that I had yet to use. Well this weekend I installed some string lights with steel wire, the pliers were amazing and I was able to finish the job in record time. I'm sold on nicer tools.
