➤ The pliers arrived in Kyiv in 8 days, via Ukrposhta, undamaged.
➤ Lion Rage ® HSC8 6–4A:
• printing under the "four-sided" format,
• S= 0.25 — 10 mm²,
AWG 23 — 7,
• Weight: 328 g.
• Price: 226 UAH.
Compared to my pliers:
➤ IEK KO–08E:
• imprinting under the "hexagon" shape,
• S= 0.5 — 6 mm²,
• Weight: 392 g.
I bought them about 10 years ago at "Lerua Merlen" for ~680 UAH.
• Price (currently with us): 1,500—1,900 UAH. (depending on the seller's greed).
These are Lion Rage pliers. ® 64g lighter than IEK (392 − 328).
Because they have slightly thinner plates, between which there are miniature rails (see below). photo).
The plates in IEK are thicker and there are no gaps.
IEK is made "monolithically", there is no flex in the hinge joints, but the lower plastic handle cover is flexible.
Lion Rage, on the other hand, has play in the hinge joints, but the plastic covers hold firmly in place.
Based on my experience with IEK pliers, the Lion Rage pliers for home use will last a long time!
And especially for such a price of 226 UAH. — then there's nothing to think about, cliché NORMS!
Satisfied with the purchase!
Thank you, Seller!
