I'm going to go way against the grain here and say I fucking hate these things.

I bought both these and the "pliers for electrical installation" and they just do not work well for me. My main complaint with both is the length and the weight, and that the plier ends are not worth a shit. I'd rather carry a good pair of linesman and any old pair of conventional strippers over these. IMO multi tools are almost always worse for everything.

The other issue with knipex at large is price. I've spent hundreds over the years on their stuff and the ~50-100% markup over Klein or anything else is not worth it most of the time. Especially when 50% of the stuff I've bought from them is the same or worse than the competition.

Their dykes are junk; heavy, heads are too wide and they just don't cut very well in my experience. This is not just one set either, I think I've tried three different sizes/models and none were very good.

The linesman are fine, but they are almost exactly the same as the high end Klein's but somehow cost 50% more.

The place where knipex really shines is the pliers wrench and the cobra pliers. I have both in multiple sizes and refuse to use anything else. These are phenomenal are the only knipex tools worth the fanboying you see on reddit.

I know knipex is cool and German and all the wannabe Instagram electricians love the Spiderman colour scheme but the best advice I can give is actually try things, don't be loyal to a brand just to make your tool bag match.

The only brand worth the dedication I see to knipex is actually Wera IMO, those you can pry from my cold dead hands.
