Top 5 Knipex tools: Not necessarily the best, just the ones I grab the most over other brands. 

Absolutely, they are great! The regular basic pliers in different styles can be had for about 22,50 - 25 € in my neck of the woods, even the insulated ones and at least the comfort grip ones, the dip handle ones are often even cheaper than that. 25 € for a good set of pliers is already good. But 25 € for such great (quality) pliers? That is borderline amazing.

They are only made in Germany. Here the prices are even lower.

I do prefer flush side cutters for the zip ties, most scissors leave a sharp plastic "tail" on the zip tie that can cut you

If U want to know what I think are THE best for zip ties, they cut the lowest. It wouldn't be the Tsunoda TH-150nc that has the retaining feature that holds onto the excess zip tie instead of it flying off, these are ok and highly recommended. I have those but a better sharper smoother design is the Three Peaks FPN-150fs, that's a 6" model, they also make a 7" & 8" which is also great. I've got Knipex, Tsunoda and a good few more & nothing compares to the 3Peaks.

Klein makes a nice and cheap little pair of flush cutters that are made in USA for like $12-$15, I love my pair. Harbor freight has a similar pair for like $9 if you prefer cost over name/place of origin

Fujiya FPN-150FS flush cut for not getting anybody cut up over gagged leftovers and the rounded head makes it easy not to cut other things you don’t want to cut. Way sharper so watch those digits.

@@VictorGarciaRHey Victor, one easy way around the sharp edge on zip ties when you are installing them is to leave a tail and then grab the tail with the end of your lineman pliers and rotate the pliers clockwise or counterclockwise until it shears off without leaving a sharp end to bite you later. A little more time but the result is worth it.
