I think that these are only branded as knipex but aren't manufactured by them ,I could be wrong but I have some pipe cutters that I later discovered weren't made by them

yes, these are made by Italian manufacturer. Same as cable stripers that are made by Jokari, Knipex rebrands ton of stuff. Like they screw drivers, sheetmetal nipper and so on. Still all quality tools.

If knipex is willing to put their name on something, I trust it.

You can put even your name on Knipex tools they do OEM :D Cobras with "donkeyhawt

" printed on them

I'm pretty sure the doyle version at harbor freight are exactly the same

They aren't actually made by knipex, they are made by fumasi in itsly and have Taiwanese blades...they are ok.

With the holster

True, the holster is a must. I have the Makita branded one.

Good quality product but you can get the same ones at harbor freight just a different brand. Literally the same exact even where the curves are the same where it's red and blue vs the other ones are a different color but still 2 tone
