Review: KNIPEX 70 02 160 Comfort Grip Diagonal Cutters - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Pinnacle of Precision: A Tool That Feels Like an Extension of Your Hand From the moment you pick up the KNIPEX 70 02 160 Comfort Grip Diagonal Cutters, you understand you're holding something exceptional. This isn't just a tool; it's a masterclass in German engineering that makes every cutting task feel effortless and precise. The first thing you notice is the exceptional ergonomics. The Comfort Grip handles are perfectly contoured, providing a secure and comfortable hold that significantly reduces hand fatigue during prolonged use. Whether I'm working on intricate electronics, cutting sturdy electrical wires, or trimming zip ties, the leverage is perfect. The cutters glide through materials with a satisfying, clean "snip" that cheaper tools simply cannot replicate. The cutting performance is where the KNIPEX truly shines. The induction-hardened, precision-ground cutting edges are breathtakingly sharp and incredibly durable. They make a perfectly clean cut on soft and hard copper wires alike, without any of the mashing or fraying that plagues inferior cutters. The jaw design provides excellent visibility right to the tip, allowing for meticulous work in tight spaces. The build quality is, as expected from KNIPEX, flawless. There is zero play in the joint, and the spring mechanism is smooth and robust. This is a tool built for a lifetime of professional use, yet it's just as valuable for the serious DIY enthusiast who appreciates quality. While the initial price is higher than hardware store alternatives, it is an investment in performance, comfort, and longevity. After using the KNIPEX cutters, every other pair feels inadequate. It’s a fundamental tool that you'll reach for with confidence, knowing it will perform perfectly every single time. An absolute five-star masterpiece.
