It was the same with snap-on floor jack. The makers of the equipment has an agreement that allows them to sell to other companies. It is not a perfect clone, so icon doesn’t have to pay the same costs, but, the same machines and dies are used which allows for reduced cost and does not violate any contracts
@rubenesparza7546 don't forget to mention snap on did sue but once HF lawyers requested snap on show their supplier list for their tools snap on ran out of the court room and dropped the suit 😂😂😂
How does icon not get sued that’s just a complete ripoff
knipex buys them from the same manufacturer, just like great value brands or any store/name brand items
A product can be copied after expiration of the original patent. ~20 years. Knipex is manufactured in Wuppertal, Germany
