Felo Vs. NWS / Knipex

[Grant Gunderson]

So I'm in the market for some new pliers. Currently I havea large mix of random cheapies and want to upgrade all of them.

I do have a bunch of Knipex plier wrenches and cobra's that I love, but need to invest in some linemens, needle nose, diaganol cutters etc. I know that Knipex and NWS are pretty simmular in quality but how does Felo compare?

I was told Felo pliers where made by NWS but can't say 100% for sure.

at least the VDE pliers look similar

If they're made by the same company, one bump for you might be that Felo has a great warranty. I've had to warranty a screwdriver through them, and they provided excellent and hassle free service.

Where as with I dealt with Knipex to warranty a brand new pair of diagonal cutter pliers that came out of the box with chipping and missing chrome, it was a bit of a task getting through their hoops, and they tried to push me back to my original seller to warranty it (but he's out of germany so that would've been even more of a hassle), before being willing to warranty it themselves.

No personal experience with NWS at all, but Felo is top notch!
