Price history for these same pliers show nearly half this price just a few years ago.
And I don't want to hear any BS answers like "inflation" or "tariffs" as the rationale for the ~100% price increase.
The most tariffs would add is ~15% above the original ~$20 - $25 reseller cost. So ~+$3 even if tariffs were currently in place and 100% passed along to the buyer.
Also the cost to build these in established Knipex factories has not changed significantly in the last 3 years.
Theses are over priced at $64 per pair - Period.
I'll wait for a reasonable deal when they are back in the $40 range.
