Wiha pliers vs Knipex

[Sal Bandini]

Ok I asked this in another unrelated thread I started but got no replies, so here goes:

wihatools.com has some pliers on sale. Originally I was going to stick to Knipex but with Wiha on sale it might be good deal. How are their pliers? I have never handled them.

Yep. I figured it got derailed with COO and my question would get lost.

Plus it is better in its own thread.

Just now looked at the Wiha pliers catalog. They look like some serious pliers. They look like they might be made by NWS or Knipex.

I have a half dozen or so 328xxx Wiha pliers and they appear beautifully made. Dunno if they are 'better' than Knipex. Wiha also makes Hecho en Vietnam pliers which you might as well avoid since they aren't really all that cheap.
