The Knipex Mini-Pliers are great,..

I went with the 7¼" version figuring that they would be a little more practical.
I could have got the 10" version for the same price, but I'm trying to downsize my tools from "automotive" sizing to "e-bike" sizing, and the 7¼" size is a bit more portable with a smaller head that should fit into more places.

Two days ago, @Cliffy recommended twisting an axle with an open-end wrench to get it loose.

I said I'd used this very tool when I needed to twist an axle.

This is that post,..

I didn't know off hand what a Knipex 86 03 180 pliers was, so I copied and pasted it into a search which lead me to my local Canadian Tire,..

I didn't know that I could get them at my local hardware store??
I got mine from Amazon and the box was completely smashed and may have been a returned item, but I figured "So what? It's a Knipex."

Then I thought maybe it's a fake ??

So then I Googled fake Knipex tools, and found this,..

So I think I'm good?
I don't have a fake tool.

I'm gunna make a fake though.
I just need to buy a 3-D printer, a Lazer scanner, and two cans of paint.
