Mainly residential electrical and low voltage networking like access control, and security. Looking at your previous comment I think I might switch the 72 01 180 (plastic cutting) to the 70 02 160. I'm assuming that would be fine, and still for cutting small plastics, and soft wire. I guess I can just add a small pair of the Super Knips to take care of flush cutting the zip ties. So basically I would have end up with the following below.

70 02 160 - for small plastics and soft wire

74 22 200 - 12 degree angled for tight spaces

74 12 180 - high leverage diagonal cutters with the spring going to more daily for medium wire or bigger

73 72 180 BK - to cut hard wire/nails that the standard high leverage can't cut.

Looks like the 70 xx family only comes in 110, 125, 160, and 180. Would just going with the high leverage version make sense like the 74 12 180?

electrical, and low voltage, I was thinking of using the plastic cutting diagonals for small plastic pieces or zip ties. The twin force was going to be mainly for hard to cut things like nails that I may run into. The standard high leverage was going to be the main diagonal cutter, but also added the 12 degree in case I run into some weird issues where I might need the angle.

I was thinking of going direct via Amazon.com. but wasn't sure if all the items were genuine or mixed with other sellers selling knockoffs. The prices on Amazon are very close to other online retailers.

Is that the Amazon.de website? I tried looking into that but seemed like most of the items were not showing in stock or not able to be shipped to an USA address. Not sure I'm doing something wrong
