They look a lot like rebranded Knipex to me, and about the same price. Didn't watch the video, but from the thumbnail, those screwdrivers look like a Wiha handle pattern.

There's probably some profit in there, but high quality hand tools aren't cheap.  For example, I have these wrenches, among others, and they're worth every penny.

Long wrench means it is reasonable to expect higher torque, so the wrench shouldn't snap (hahah) under the load. Paying $60 for a wrench that won't break and cause injury? Worth it.

I wouldn’t buy them, but it’s not a ridiculously high price.

Phoenix would probably run you similar money

Why not instead go after the A brand TE manufacturers and challenge the pricing they have on their low end gear ?

70€ for a 16mm wrench STAMPED FROM SHEETMETAL is hard to beat, isn't it? That is what R&S calls up for a replacement accessory when you have several of their xxxx€ coaxial calibration kits!

Was looking at the Fluke web site and saw this:

https://www.fluke.com/en-us/product/electrical-testing/insulated-tools/insulated-pliers-set

I wonder what they're made of to cost that much money?  :o

Your ignorance of the cost of quality tools and the use cases for insulated tools doesn’t mean they’re pointless.

What is it the last few days with people just posting threads to rant about something they don’t understand (and don’t want to understand)?!?
