They aren't always the easiest to find but i highly recommend the 7012140 snips. They have been my all time favorite for plc / control / comms type work for about 15 years now. Not vde handles that we know you love though.
@@danstoolroom7700 the 7012140's handle isnt the usual dipped, its thicker and softer, and they have spring opening which is pretty nice when you're using for any decent amount of time. I completely understand though, when you find a handle type that just works for you 👌
@@rgoring81 are you sure you are not thinking of the 74 12 160? That seam to be the closest to what you are describing. I can't seem to find a pair of 140 spring loaded. if you have a link or a picture I would love to see it. 140 spring sounds sweet
Thanks for the quality videos, i personally use ck sidecutters, but these look quality, might have to get a set, medium size probably, have you tried any ck cutters ? would like to see a few reviews on their cutters/tools
Hi mate sorry didn't see this vid, I havent used ck side cutters but used their pliers and two types of their croppers. They are perfectly good tools, I just personally prefer knipex myself
The High Leverage cutters are nice but the chrome started to chip off the blades on my pair, after a few months of light work. I think it's time to test out their warranty

Knipex is fantastic.

Gracias…
Would a 160 mm cobolt 7101160 replace them all? Function wise.
9:18 What do you use to grease them up, specifically?
I've know a geeza at work who has a pair of knipex sidecutters that look identical to them but rusted like crazy. Have yours seen any rust?
No rust on mine but they normally work indoors to be fair
I wanted to buy 160mm but i bought 180mm ones, 160 are cute :D
Is that the 7” chrome platted one correct
How donyou mean sorry
I have these & don’t find them sharp at all tbh ..
