Description

Diagonal Cutters were tested for their ability to cut through a 16-penny nail, a deck screw, and an Allen key, as well as for their leverage profile and handle design. Brands: SK, Channellock, Wiha, Klein Tools, Southwire, Milwaukee, WORKPRO, GEARWRENCH, Irwin, Crescent, Engineer, GEDORE, KNIPEX, Craftsman, Snap-On, and Utoolmart. I purchased all the Diagonal Cutters to ensure an unbiased review.

"Very Impressive" and "We're Gonna Test That" are national treasures at this point!

I am convinced that the channels that do in depth testing and tear downs are truly forcing the tool manufacturers to actually compete with each other. And it is amazing for us

Stay tuned for Part 2 of this video, where we see if the Knipex can cut through all of the other cutters without breaking! 💪

The Knipex success in cutting through the hex key is probably a good indicator of long term reliability and performance for use in cutting actual everyday use.

Thanks for doing "retreads" like this test. Always interesting to see which companies improve and which don't care.

I've had a set of Kleins for years! I've even cut screws with them without any problems at all. Definitely, have not found maximum capacity yet. They can hold up to a lot more than I can squeeze 💯🍰🎉
