Nice tools ,I use them a lot .I have the shorter version of the needlenose combination pliers and it is just great. The forged wire strippers are alo my favourite ones, I own the AWG version used on metric wires. I like that the metric version is available in the VDE version and chrome plated, but knipex removed the spring and lock and the screw cutting capabilities..So I will use the AWG version until Knipex will update this metric version.
