Community Reviews

Knipex long nose pliers with cutter are positioned as a very well made German tool with strong fit and finish, good steel, and the kind of durability that fits a buy it for life reputation. The $23.28 price is described as the lowest found and a bit below Amazon's typical price, though still not a standout bargain versus usual Knipex pricing. The main caution is Amazon sourcing, with counterfeit and bad return concerns tied to marketplace inventory mixing, so buying directly from Amazon is seen as the safer route. The 6 and 1 4 inch size also feels short for a single all purpose pair, and this model has some jaw flex under twisting force.

  • DIYers or tool-bag owners who want a long-nose plier/cutter that's "buy-it-for-life" quality because commenters say Knipex tools are made in Germany and consistently have excellent fit/finish and material selection, with QC preventing sloppy tools from leaving the factory.

  • People buying from Amazon directly (not third-party marketplace sellers) who are trying to reduce counterfeit risk because commenters say buying Knipex directly from Amazon should greatly reduce the chance of receiving a counterfeit versus a marketplace third-party seller.

    GimmeYoTots

  • Buyers who will only carry one needle-nose/cutter and want the right size for their use because one commenter says 6-1/4" is a little short for their needs and recommends waiting for the 8" if you're only going to have one in your tool bag.

  • Shoppers who can inspect and sort pliers in person (or are willing to be picky) because commenters say QA matters most for pliers/cutters and that you can often find straight jaws and a good grind by sorting through the shelf.

    PriceTheory

  • People who plan to buy this via Amazon marketplace/third-party listings because commenters warn Amazon is flooded with fake Knipex and that inventory mixing across vendors makes the purchase risky.

    UpbeatKnob539

  • Anyone who expects Amazon to always deliver a perfectly correct, inspected return because one commenter reports receiving a scammed/incorrect return where the Knipex box contained two rusty, poor pliers, suggesting Amazon may not inspect returned items before restocking.

    FantasticSpaniel688

  • Heavy-duty users who need maximum rigidity because commenters say this model is a little flexible and the jaws bend with moderate twisting force.

  • Buyers who prioritize the easiest warranty experience over slightly higher tool quality because commenters say Harbor Freight/Icon has a very low-fuss warranty process (walk in, grab a new one), and that it can be hard to justify Knipex if you're ignoring how convenient HF/Icon is.

100% Amazon is flooded with fake Knipex. The main problem is Amazon mixing inventory from different vendors for the same product. Not worth the risk.
I've seen plenty of people make this claim, but no one has been able to point to any evidence. What's the basis of your claim?

For tools like this, you also have the advantage of being able to touch them in store. QA on the tools might be bad, but that doesn't matter if you can sort through the shelf and find a good one.I picked up a set of Doyle diagonal cutters a while back and they've been great...there were copies on the shelf with misaligned jaws or other issues, but 30 seconds of sorting found one with straight jaws and a good looking grind.Unless you are a really heavy duty user, for things like pliers and cutters the most important thing is usually the QA. A cheap no-name needlenose with perfect jaws is better than a name brand with gaps or misalignment.
I just recently picked up two Doyle pliers and they've been really nice. They've been in my car as the to-go kit.

Not fakes but I actually bought different Knipex pliers not long ago and got what was obviously a scammed return that Amazon did not check before putting it back into stock. Correct Knipex box filled with two rusty old crap pliers. I should try to see how to post a picture here.
Not that hard to just return and get the correct item but annoying that Amazon doesn't review their returned items.

The 8" ones are black
