Fit Shear Pliers No. 15

While I do not think these are of the same high quality standard as Knipex pliers, the difference is mostly cosmetic. These are not finished quite as nicely, but the steel alloy used for the construction is super; very tough and durable. I have abused these several times when I did not want to use the more expensive Knipex pliers. They have little sign of wear after mistreatment. The cutter is excellent as well.

Overall a great pair of pliers. The handles are off set which make for a different grip than normal pliers. My pair are stiff which I have gotten use to and like. The stiffness keeps me from nuts or bolts slipping out of the pliers if i move my hand into a different position. I have had them about a month now and have used them mostly for holding onto smaller parts for cleaning on a bench grinder.

Ergonomically it's an excellent set of pliers. Unless you have a lot of strength in your hand cutting of, say, a small nail can be difficult. Similarly, there can be slippage if your trying to hold something, like a bolt, tightly. Overall, I like it, especially the comfort grip handles.
