as if the "american" companies dont bleed profits and still send money to other countries.

🤣 I'm dying. it's true though usually the comparable knipex tool will be 1.5 or 2X more expensive than the comparable klein.

Their linesmans are roughly the same price..... I wonder how much of it has to do with import taxes. We'll have to ask someone from Germany how much Klein products are in comparison over there.

The 6-7" knipex has been the go-to pocket wrench in my coveralls the last 10 years. The only thing it doesn't do as well as a clumsy crescent... is being a hammer.

I love the pliers wrenches, channellocks are great on rounded things but don't really belong on hex shaped objects.

Yeah on certain things I think they try to compete on price. But others like the eagle beaks are over 2x the price.

I have mostly Klein channellock and pump pliers (longer jaws), never had any issues with them. I like the beefier handle designs. I also have a few Knipex pliers and find they are nice where a thinner head fits in smaller places, the smooth jaw wrench style is nice for finished surfaces..
