I don't think you'll be able to beat this price from an American retailer. That said, these things are great for cutting ABS style plastic pipe (the type of pipe under your kitchen sink). Note - made in Germany, and the included blades are made in Solingen, Germany.
Cuts pipes quickly and without shavings in next to no time
Knipex BiX cuts pipes quickly - markings help you find the exact cutting position. By applying slight pressure with the first turn a guide line is created for the cutter to follow. A further turn with a slightly higher pressure is often enough to separate the material. The cut off section remains in the tool and does not fall down. In addition, there are no shavings.
Standard-compliant results: BiX cuts sealing sleeves just as it should
The Knipex BiX also works as a cutting tool for drip sleeves and sealing sleeves. It cuts the sleeves quickly and easily - in accordance with DIN 18534 at a distance of approx. 2-3 mm from the wall. Already standard in Germany, sealing sleeves help keep walls dry: They prevent water from penetrating the wall and conduct moisture away from the wall due to possible leaks in water connections.
- Clever pipe cutter: Cuts pipes without shavings and fits comfortably in the hand
- Can cut high-temperature plastic drain pipes and electrical conduits in next to no time
- Can be used to cut sealing sleeves during final assembly – close to the wall, standard-compliant
- Cuts unreinforced plastic pipes from Ø 20 to 50 mm with a wall thickness of up to 2.4 mm
- Cuts soft plastic pipes and those with foam cores from Ø 20 to 50 mm with a wall thicknesses of up to 3.5 mm
- Cuts sealing sleeves approx. 2-3 mm from the wall
- Cuts pipes quickly, cleanly and without shavings
- Rotatable knife block for cutting plastic pipes (blade in the middle) and sealing sleeves (blade outside)
- With locking mechanism for safe transport
- Two spare blades integrated in the tool

Considering the main breakable part is the blade and it is not particularly sturdy on Knipex either, I would probably not pay the premium.
