Sidecutters

[KevinS]

Can't believe no-one has mentioned WIHA side cutters, got a really good comfortable feel, stay sharp.

The second ones are the nuts.

I've got both and can say, it they ever break, or get nicked, they're all I would consider again.

I followed a link to a related ad here. Are Draper and Knipex related to each other?

Cant beat a good pair of Elliot Lucas had mine for years

 

[VoltzElectrical]

Not sure, but don't think so. I checked my link and it's to the Knipex ones.

I have to say, I adore my sprung cable shears.

Also, I don;t really understand people bemoaning spending a few quid on basic tools that are constantly used. Have you seen the price on good quality tools used by mechanics?

I LOVE tools, and don't mind a bit spending on good quality ones that are a joy to use and make the job so much easier and rewarding.

That's what I wondered when I saw the advert. I had no idea they are the same, weird, I have a few draper tools around somewhere and they look nothing like Knipex.

well...i`m always suspicious of something that doesn`t appear `right`...it generally isn`t...
or stuff thats `too cheap`...its usually a load of turd...

Knippex for me, never had a pair stolen yet! Must work on friendlier sites than some of you guys!

I have a pair of knipex and feel spoiled when I use them. Doesn't have to be a bank breaker though. Got mine from FFX tools.
