i think most WPP have non slip ridges on them. i think knipex is a new brand(draper?).just wondered bout the quality-does the price of them justify this-£23.99? do a search on screwfix

Knipex are not Draper, and they are very good quality tools. Most Sparks will have something from Knipex in their tool kit. My own Pliers, Sidecutters, WPP's and some screwdrivers are Knipex VDE rated units. Some are many many years old despite being used constantly.
