The steel is softer, the machining on the jaws is quite rough, and the jaws are narrower than the comparable knipex.
This would be something I would keep in the car or lend to friends.
I returned mine.
Being a fool with money is a much more devastating thing that not having top of the line pliers so I can admire my taste in tools. I estimate that I have maybe a couple hundred thousand more for retirement by making wiser buying decisions.
This Is SD not the site to always recommend Mazzatti over the Ford just because it costs more.

One pair of Knipex at home is not more valuable to me than having some cheaper but serviable pliers in multiple places such as the truck, shed, garden bench or tackle box. Not having to worry about ruining them, losing or having them stolen has great value. If it rains on or someone walks off with my bag of cheaper tools it is no sweat off my back
I have sets of tools for all my vehicles, outbuildings and multiple gear and tool bags for specific tasks like bike riding. To gear up with Knipex I'd be in for $300 for just one type of pliers.
You can find the knipex 7.25 pliers wrenches for ~$45 on amazon depending on the variant (comfort grips, etc) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B081K8WFTF
The knipex is much better in terms of comfort, ease of changing size, and being a bit more anti finger pinch. If you use this tool more than once or twice a week, it may be worth upgrading to the knipex. For most people, these will be fine. If you tend to loan tools out or want to leave one in the car, go with one of these ~$20 options, they hurt less to lose. The 7.25" size is the most useful IMO by far. No idea why HF hasn't copied it yet. They can handle surprisingly large nuts (my C02 tank for beverages requires a large adjustable wrench but the 7.25 knipex handles it fine) and I threw the lowes mini set into my car after fighting with my brother's battery mount on the side of the road with a normal adjustable wrench. The 10" version (I have the craftsman but have played with several different versions including HF and Knipex) is good but much larger than I need for all but the biggest jobs. I can generate a lot of force with the 10" which isn't always a positive for the medium sized jobs.

I actually got the large three piece set of Knipex cobras for a great price yet sold them as they would be wasted on me. My 10" Craftsman branded pair have done all I need when a serious grip is required.
Don't get me wrong they were beautiful, built well with the finest of materials and would have looked great in the toolbox yet at this point in life they would have seen little use and my wife will appreciate the cash for retirement.
She will likely be be cursing my cold dead body for having to give away or haul away all the many nice and not so nice tools I have accumulated. She will probably get 1/10th of their value and I'll be worrying about it on my deathbed.
Earthly treasures can be a curse, waste, worry and burden if you are not reasonable with it all. I know people that are at retirement age and always have had fancy cars but no money in the bank or even a home to call theirs or pass on.

Lets say I'm a new homeowner at 20 and I go out and buy the pliers need for various projects. I have at least thirty varying pairs and lets say I paid $15 a pair for non Knipex and $45 a pair for Knipex. The $900 saved is invested at a measly rate of return of 4% and I have $2400 after twenty five years. If I take that out to forty years the return is $4300. If I do more likely return of 6% after forty years that would be $9250. If reached for top of the line in all the tools I have I would probably be back at least $100,000 or maybe way more any way I look at it.
The math is the math and as pretty low end regular pliers got me through most of my life working on just about anything you can imagine I think I made a wise choice. Big sums of money are made up of small ones. The Knipex would have been pure loss and selling used Knipex sure would not get me $9250 back. Prices on them have actually been dropping as the patent is up
Maybe you have more disposable income than other people but I am good with my choices.

It was not an excessive amount as I do almost all my own work on everything I own and jobs of all sorts for customers and there was always some other tool that would have been useful. If I limited myself to a couple expensive pairs of pliers I would have limited myself in the jobs I could do. Buying cheaper pliers not only saved me money up front but increased income. I use my tools I do not sit back and admire them. At times I had two trucks fitted out with tools plus tools I used at home. You must have little knowledge of the trades , the trucks and tools used as I see guys that make my collection of tools look small.
You assume that everyone must be some hobbyist type plier user like you are. I did not buy my house at twenty but did at thirty. I only had the money for the down payment as I got control of wasteful and luxury style spending.
If the Knipex are your thing and work for you great but when people sometimes struggle with food budgets advice to buy top of the line tools when they are not needed is bad advice.

I jumped to no conclusions about you, you jumped on me with a off the wall assumption. You assume and conclude as a universal that people only need a few pairs of pliers to try to make you point and I point out that is often is not the case.
I just gave very general advice as pushback to all the you need Knipex posts. I did not say it applies to everybody you are arguing you specific use case does. If you need or want Knipex go for it and I even advised how to get a better deal on them. If it did not apply to you you could have moved on but you seem to have some desperate need to justify your purchase.
We are on a forum that focused on saving many not spending more when not needed.
Consumer debt is at an all time high and advising everyone that they need n Knipex is not smart or wise thing without knowing more.

I have seen financial devastation in my own circle of friends family and neighbors and I think my advise a bit more balanced than just buy Knipex.

My point was clear as bell. I did say that having the idea in your head that you always need the highest end in any given tool or product can be bad news and as consumer debt shows many many people are spending way more than they should. I did also say that my cheaper tools lasted me long and did what needed to be done doing both residential contracting and my own work.
It is bit funny as I am cleaning up and organizing today and taking some pairs of $5 groovelocks that must be near thirty years old out to put in the shed, hose cart and truck.
I'm beginning to wonder how good you feel about what you spent as you seem to feel the need to defend and justify your choice to the extreme in deal for a tool you are not interested in.
