Comfy, weighty and up for a good Knipping.
Great knippers. However after 17 months of light use* the tip of one of the blades has snapped off. *I use them pretty exclusivly to cut Hotwheel axles which are 0.8 hardened steel which you can see in the pictures. I did make sure to buy nips that could handle up to ~1.5mm hard steel wires, as I saw how quickly these axle can dent a "good" quality side cutter. I tend to use the whole blade as to not wear a certain part and have used the tip a couple times. I must have tried to cut at a weird angle or found a freakily hard axle which snapped/chipped the tip off.

Best I’ve ever owned
Perfect for snipping cables with ease. Comfortable in hand and compact in size.

160mm Knipex side cutters
Absolutely solid purchase. Built well, have lasted well and will buy them again if I go through a live wire and blow a hole in them. The 180mm version is also great and gives a bit more leverage for larger cables but these fit my hand nicely.

Der Seitenschneider ist einwandfrei verarbeitet. Alles bestens. Was auffällt: Die Schneiden sind mit einer Korrosiosschutzfarbe überzogen. Beim ersten Einsatz reibt die sich natürlich ab. Im Bild die Zange nach dem allersten Schnitt in einen Zaun-Spanndraht. Die schlechte Qualität die einige wenige Rezensionen hier beklagen kann ich mir nur durch Produktfälschung erklären.
