How's the exchange rate and shipping? Do you have to pay a duty on it? Meaning, do they basically charge you a fee because it's a product from overseas?

And how do you keep your tools in the toolbag without them falling out?

It fluctuates usually from $0.70USD to $0.90USD in our Dollar. I pretty much pay double on most small stuff and a third on larger items for shipping. I dont pay your sales tax and dont usually pay tax when it comes in but I am liable for 15% sales tax if they wanted to ping me.

Got them off the website that's 'watermarked' on the picture.

They definitely cut way easier than standard dykes. The jaws don't open as far, and they're not angled, but for stripping and cutting, they're great.

I just bought the M12 baby band saw but either it wasn't delivered to the right house or it was stolen. Either way I filed a claim and they're looking into it right now.

I need a new pair of nippers, since my handles are shabby and some day I will get my "bell rung"....thanks for these suggestions.

And I like to buy different brands so I can grab them based on handle pattern/color and not get confused because the head is buried in a pouch...I am a simple man

I've used Kleins for years but after getting these I don't know if I'll go back!! Have to see how they hold up. The Robertson drivers are a huge improvement over Klein.

Yea my buddy has one, hes makes conduit look easy with that thing... it saves so much time and makes the off angles worth bending NiCE AND NEAT... Like he says it takes the same amount of time if you bend a bad piece and try to mescal it in or masher check your level do your math and do it right!

I don't think it will be coming on jobs, or even estimates with me, but it's certainly a "toy".
