When a near-new pair of Snap-Off flush cutting diagonal cutting pliers went bad on me last January it stopped dead-in-it's-tracks an important job until they can be replaced. Larger Snap-Off dykes are OK but a pair of 1/3rd the price Crescent compound pliers just beats the snot out of the red handled dykes. And there is nothing from japan, taiwan or korea that can vie with Wiha performance or durability.
The Wiha diagonal pliers, like many of their tools, are now made in Vietnam. Designed in Germany. actually forged and manufactured in Vietnam.
