i don't have much Kipex but my NWS stuff is awesome. They're at least on-par with Knipex, maybe even a littl better. I have a pair of their combination pliers, nothing else compares with them. Their side cutters are great too, as are their end cutters which are amazingly strong and sharp. I'd definitely reccomend them.

Darn you guys. Went to NWS web site and now need to find some of their tools. I love knipex cobra and alligator pliers but those look sweet.

I just googled NWS TOOLS and got to their web site. Looks like some fine German pliers etc. Have the Euro looking grips which I don't care for the looks but have never used any so they may be great.

Never used NWS but I recently got a bunch of Knipex electrical stuff and I must say it would be pretty hard to beat. I've never had such nice pliers before, it's amazing what a difference it makes.

they probably made them for WIHA. WIHA seems to be whoring things out all over the globe.
