Rock Solid Knipex Quality
They may cost a little more than some of the name brand cutters but the quality cannot be beaten even by the super expensive tools you have to buy from the tool dealer's truck. I spent a couple of dollars more for the insulated handle model for the occasion I do hot work but mostly for the bright orange and yellow that makes them harder to lose. I tried cutting some .018 inch diameter piano wire and it didn't leave a mark in the cutting edges. I will cut 1/0 stranded copper insulated wire easily; I didn't have any larger wire readily available to try it on. The finish may not be as polished as the super expensive cutters, but I'm more concerned with good metallurgy and proper temper than pretty; it is a tool to be used. Knipex does make chrome plated cutters for those who feel they need them. These should last me the rest of my life and more as long as I don't lend them out. I still have the last pair of wire cutters that I lent with the specific instructions not to cut live...
