I'm doing a lot of work and you need to just sometimes a reasonable side cutter. Since I otherwise besitzte much Knipex tool I have resorted to this here. The cutter is very stable, fits comfortably in your hand and you can therefore still well sever lines of size 5x2,5qmm. Standard side cutters are I think only 150-160 mm but can I recommend the 180 mm. It fits well in still a toolbox / box and makes cutting large ducts easier. So far, he has no wear and tear on the blades. Would buy it again.
