I bought 2 of them recently and frankly, I can't tell the difference from the knipex, which I also own. The workpro are amazing for the value, the knipex last about 6 months ever day use, from my experience before the stripers or jaws dull beyond use. The workpro are similar so far for a 3rd of the cost.
I love knipex, I use it all day for hvac but the work pro value is too good to pass up, Plus, it still matches all my knipex of your into that sort of thing. Which I am…
Love to see low priced options that perform well... Keep um coming... 👍 Thank you
I got these work pro snips shortly after seeing this video and been using them for about 3 weeks now and they are handy. I like the belt clip so I don't have to have on my tool pouch belt all the time just to have my snips on me (I have the Klein Tools 5187T on that belt). The one fault I have seen is after cutting coaxial cable (yes it's still used for some reason) is the that thicker copper wire has caused the chipping/denting of the inner lopper blades. They still work amazing but over time if one was to use them for coaxial cable the lopper blades will be ineffective to even cut CAT 5/6 cables.
The center wire of many coaxial cables is made of copper-coated steel, which can cause dents in less resistant tools.
@@Vishvamurti you are right was doing more work with the same coaxial at return visit and it was a copper coated steel that was causing damage to the inner blade.
great video as usual.
With the price of Romex, I’m impressed with you prudence in cutting it….😮
The Workpro reminds me the Usag 207E… maybe it’s just a rebranding.
why use scissors over "normal" wire cutting pliers?
more versatile and more precise depending on what you're doing. 😉
btw, those Knipex are made in Taiwan, not Germany and most "brands" have a variation of those or more in their catalogs with wildly varying prices(from 4 to 60 bucks... 😅). and then there's the PRC-made _look-alike_ ones too with wildly varying quality too... 😬
Try cutting some stranded wire with both and you’ll find out.
Bit like a smaller scale version of the difference between cutting cable with a shears or a dykes
@@frankblack1481 A knipex side cutter will still cut stranded wires cleanly and easily.
I get the feeling these are for telecom and low voltage control stuff where small wires are common and no need to cut large wires. Never seen any electrician using these.
@@greentjmtlyea - def for LV/Data but can be used for any daily tasks - I’m a commercial electrician and use them around the house - use them on the job for if I’m doing dimming and Lv lighting or running cat 5/6, or just cutting p-touch labels, pieces of tape or anything that needs to be cut. They just work as regular scissors and happen to be able to cut decent size wire. So just a very versatile tool for any trade.
@@kittytrailHello, I have two versions of the knipex scissors, one with an angled handles and both of them are made in Italy, mentioned directly on the package. Fumasi tools are rebranded by knipex. And on my scissors there is a marking 58 HRC. Knipex only makes pliers, the screwdrivers, wire strippers are made by rennsteig, a subsidiary of the knipex group. But it is possible that some of them are made in Taiwan.
Some bad reviews on AZ on these.
I read those reviews too, but did not see any substantial trends or even specific details of failure except for blade overlap. I did not experience that issue, and I ran them on solid core wire and romex to stress the mechanism. So far, no problems. Regarding the blades dulling, that's why I tested the hardness. My guess is QC at the WORKPRO plant is hit and miss, but mostly hit.
You know competing brands actively post negative reviews right?
Why would anyone buy scissors from a company who clearly stole the design from Knipex?
