Perhaps I need a little help/push to buy the Knipex 87 02 250 Cobra vs the premium German brand Gross which has CR-V steel and certificates as well. What do I gain by paying exactly twice as much for the Knipex?

If I lightly spread and then wipe this machine oil on the non chrome plated knipex tools, is it going to prevent rust? Is this the proper way to take care of the tools?

​Can somebody tell me how old they are?

​Does somebody know how old these pliers are? I got them from my grandfather and would love to know more about their age.

Thanks for any help!

Do not buy knipex. They won't warranty your tools when they break.

The only brand of pliers I have bought for the past few years is knipex, but never again will I buy a pair of them. I tried to get one of them warrantied and they will not warranty them because they say it is not a manufacturer defect. It doesn't matter if it's not a manufacturer defect, the tool broke when I was using it properly and they will not honor their "lifetime" warranty.
