A $95 German wire stripper faces off against a $22 American one. Both strip 10 and 20 AWG copper, but the German tool costs more than 4x as much. This video breaks down what actually separates them at the material level, manufacturing level, and failure level — so you can decide if the premium is justified.
You’ll see:
What you’re really paying for with Knipex
How the materials and build quality compare
Where each tool is likely to fail or wear over time
Which one belongs in your tool bag
Knipex history also gets a look: founded in 1882 by Carl Gustav Putsch in a basement forge in Cronenberg, Germany, and still family-owned today.
