This is the perfect size for pliers (it doesn't rust even with balls)
(If you don't take care of them, they will rust, it's not KNIPEX's fault)

I have over 30 KNIPEX tools and this particular one is one that I mistreat. I left it in the rain and snow for days and it never showed any rust. The truth is, I lubricate it with WD-40 twice a year. Excellent

Good in terms of grip, nice feel, but bad in terms of metal quality. It showed rust within one month of having it, and now it has become useless.......... Unacceptable for the quality of Knipex
