After I had been annoyed at the weekend again on my old no-name side cutter, as you now have to look on the cutting edge always looking for a place where he still cuts halfway tidy, I decided to buy a new one. I want to talk to the old side cutter is not bad, he has made me many years ordinary services, but I've been surprised at how well the lies of Knipex then but in the hand and how good and precise it cuts. One can, for example, only once briefly stripping the cable, which definitely never went with my old side cutter, as he never possessed this sharpness. Even multi-core cables are hardly crushed but cut cleanly.
I am very pleased and would not hesitate to resort back to a higher-value product as Knipex!
Also with me the pliers was a bit stiff at first, but a drop of silicone oil and a bit of movement have quickly remedied.
