Snap-On HL9 vs Knipex Co-Bolt

[flippin]

Snap-On HL9's are a now discontinued set of compound action bolt cutters. Just curious to see how you would compare them with the ever popular Knipex Co-Bolt compound action cutters.

Many Thanks in advance.

Knipex.One good use is cutting junk brake lines,cut in one cut.Make sure you spray the joints with brake clean after doing this.

Thanks guys for the info. I have never had a reason to complain about Knipex. Been using them for almost 15 years. They are the number 1 cutters in the muskie fishing circles to cut giant treble hooks out of fish. Trying to remove hooks from a giant fish is excruciatingly hard on them as they fight for freedom, as such the accepted practice is too simply cut the hooks off and release the fish unharmed.

But having tasted too much Kool-Aid since joining this site I had to ask. Much appreciated as always.
