This is a steal and I might buy a set to supplement my Knipex set. These look exactly like the German counterparts.

I suspect ICON copied the Knipex design. I also suspect these "small" pliers are perfectly cromulent for the vast majority of work most of us need to do on an 80's/90's vintage MB. Stuff like power steering pump re-sealing, steering box, etc. However for the big snap rings found in some differentials, larger pliers would be needed. The beef 12" Knipex (made in Grrmany) might be better suited for that stuff.

@gsxr - Thanks for getting this posted. Great price for what they are and agreed that the 12" knipex set might be needed for some future work, but I'll cross that bridge once I get there.

I ordered a set today online. Nearest store is a 45 minute drive so shipping is cheaper. The whole set wouldn’t cover the cost of one Knipex on the tool truck.
