Although I don’t mind the Irwin version. No-name Chinesium is awful, but that’s a tool you could go Irwin or Icon to save a few bucks since you’re not relying on super hardened jaws.

yes! how can two pieces of metal in a scissor configuration be done wrong? They weigh the same, so i'm not questioning the quality of metal being used. so unless presented with proof through comparison, i just saved $40!

You can't tell the quality of metal by the weight. If it holds up to abuse in comparison to a knipex brand one, then yeah you got a good deal and saved $40. If it bends, strips, deforms, or breaks because of shit quality steel, then it was not a good deal.

agreed. we'll see how this goes. i'm curious if there are any tests we could do with in comparison to the original knipex.

You know what is fun? When you save $40 on a Chinesium tool and fuck up a $200 part because the tool breaks. Or even better, you waste like 8 manhours fixing the thing you damaged with the cheapest possible tool. I love that.

These are the icon knock-offs, considered one of the higher quality knock-offs. I use them as holding pliers on the other side of an impact pretty often, you can see the wear & tear in the jaws. Sometimes it slightly swages the metal and I've knocked those high spots down with a file. They still work fine, but I would expect cheaper chinesium to deform more severely.

Ha ha, those jaws are 100% shut without pressure, the knipex ones will only do that with a lot of pressure, and will only close the tip of the jaws when at rest. And yes, by design.

Seethe with your chinesium pliers, knipex rulz

knipex pricing is pretty straight forward. Everything drop forged and dipped = cheap
Two component handle = +5€ for the worker gluing them on
VDE = + 5€ for them to do the 1000v test
Reddit tools like the tiny plier wrench = +50€ onions tax
Crimper and stripper = Not knipex made, not subject to knipex pricing

>how can two pieces of metal in a scissor configuration be done wrong?
-cheaper steel, lower carbon content, more impurities in the steel. Will break and deform easier.
-will use dies until they're beyond worn instead of refurbing the dies when they need to. Fit and finish suffers.
-cast instead of forged
-material used for the grip is a generic rubber or latex material. Will wear out much faster
-no bonding agent and/or prep between grips and steel, will eventually slide off easily.
-no warranty generally
-giving your money at all to the ccp

All the chinks do is buy a real version, 3d scan it, send the model off to a mold shop, the start pumping them out with close enough materials. They didn't do any of the engineering behind it, they didn't do any of the r&d so they dont actually understand the product. Sometimes they'll even buy used molds that are too far gone for a real supplier and start using them again. With the slant eye jews it's literally always a race to the bottom. China and India need to be nuked off the face of the earth.

Are you a kraut? Even TME that always has the best prices(rapes you on delivery costs) is selling for 44€.

I started my building my knipex toolbox buying comfort grips(mistake, should've gone dipped) and now got fucked because they added retarded rubber to it and I don't like that.

Tfuck you talking about, negreo? Tme is polish and I'm in the EU myself. 44€ before shipping. Amazon has it for 60€. Does knipex DE ships abroad? Because even if they charge 15€/20 for shipping it would still be worth it.

it's not as bad as india, but if you're coming in wearing shades, shorts and a hat, you're basically a walking target for beggars and scammers. don't go through tourist agencies. coordinate with a local and they'll host you instead (they won't ask for money but don't be a jackass neither). (october / november - march / april) the weather is very good.

t-shirt and jeans. no sunglasses or hats. just don't fit the tourist dress stereotype if you're trying to avoid prying people.

>I just want to see Giza,
if you had a john anthony west / egypt phase, or used to listen to rogan, then yes, seeing the pyramids would deliver in the feels department, but you should try the temples in lower egypt also because a) you wouldn't deal with as many people and b) much more potent old egypt vibe (i mean look at that shit << )

Yeah that looks impressive, as for sunglasses I would need to wear them because high sensitivity to sunlight.

Your country has such rich history it's a shame they make the visiting so stressful for tourists. I'm more of a backpacker and every other travel vlogger complains how annoying and aggressive everyone around tourist attractions is.

Fuck even that food reviews dude that goes everywhere got harassed by the police for filming.

yeah I watched that episode too. they had his backpacks laid open on the floor because he packed radios. it's a bureaucracy sure, but i think even that guy would appreciate the irony of having security tightened to the point of harassment, because the underpaid 2 digit IQ security people are trying to .... protect tourism.

i think the key is to not do too much thinking beforehand. we have a saying here "if you look too closely at what you're eating, you won't eat it", which i think sum up the whole experience. I won't even tell you to pack your own toilet paper because we use pressurized water instead.
