Good price for the Knipex. HF's Doyle brand for this is about half the price w/ lifetime warranty & will serve the needs of most people. Repped.
*hammer. This is clearly a hammer. 🙄
Aren't the same size as ones posted above. These are smaller in size

Yea I'm always worried now ordering name brand stuff on Amazon I'm going to get a fake ☹️. Probably would just spend the extra $5 and order from Home Depot.

These things are probably amazing. However, my $100 per month Knipex budget is already exceeded, and I have the electricians wire stripper pliers already.

My favorite pair of lineman's pliers are spring loaded, no brand name in sight, have a "hooked outward" handle on one side, and are huge. It's a breeze twisting together four 12awg copper ground wires together with that thing and snipping the ends off, rounding it all up with the huge head and then snugging down a wire nut.

But they aren't German. So I ordered these.

If you don't already have the other 2 pliers, seems like 3 for $77 is the way to go. Includes needle nose and diagonal cutter.

I bought these a while back but I wasn't pleased with the comfort grip. It's not like the comfort grip on the Cobras- it's too hard and not "grippy" enough IMO.

I returned these and bought the ones with the regular grips. I prefer those because they have a lot more grip.

That said, ignoring my grip issue they've been doing really well. They cut through MC and up to 1/4" bolts just fine with no obvious wear or decrease in performance, and the grip surface for wires is really strong. Makes twisting together wires super easy.

Thumbs up for knipex. These are the one pair I wouldn't buy again. The cutting edge chipped cutting an outlet screw. Contacted knipex and they didn't warranty it.

The home depot one seems to be 56 based on the model
