  1. How hard are 3 ir 4" concrete nails ---the nails that take a sledge hammer blow to be driven into a concrete wall or floor? They are cheaper than cutting through tools. Really quite hard to even cut through with a hack saw. Usually ruin the saw blade. & yeah I do take them to the break the handle event as I put on cheater pipes onto the handles But if it is that hard I would use a hacksaw or a oxy/acetylene cutting torch. Which one was the German one? You failed to mention that. I heard China,China,China, Japan, none from India...interesting.

  2. You failed to mention which were the German brand, which were U.S. made. I know Snap On is U.S. made because they cost A LOT and failed early "Snap OFF" is the shop name for them. Knipex is half the cost of the Snap Off. The Snap On tool was a rip off,selling their name rather than a quality tool. . For a "WIRE CUTTER" all tools passed. Maybe test a NAIL CUTTER IF YOU WANT TO CUT NAILS (it was a strange test considering most wire is copper or aluminum unless you are talking wire fencing then they use a totally different cutter for that because it is ARMSTRONG STRENGTH...no one is going to squeeze 1000lbs with their hands on diagonal hand cutters. If they squeeze 100 they would be lucky. So I slip on cheater pipe extensions onto the handles as the Tool get duller. It would be nice if I could file them sharp again(sometimes a hand files is just lying around)
