$234 for Stahlwille??????I'm not stranger to paying a premium for tools but this is absurd. I'm a Tinknocker. There's nothing you can do to stop stainless from bearing up snip blades

They're 60-70€ here in Europe.

I don't know if Stahlwille, Hazet or Gedore really make them anyway. Bessey is the German manufacturer known for such snips, and NWS also makes them. It's likely the other brands get some of those and have them rebranded (but I'm not 100%...). For many tools, the niche manufacturers are the best. Hazet, Gedore and Stahlwille do manufacture their own stuff, especially sockets and wrenches, but they rebrand lots of stuff like Screwdrivers (I think both Hazet and Gedore supply them from Oplast, while Stahlwille might get them from Witte).
