Knipex Diagonal Cutters (premium/durability pick)

The only brand of 16 tested to successfully cut through a hardened 3/16" hex key without the tool itself breaking.

A genuine, meaningful durability differentiator matching Knipex's broader reputation as a premium German hand-tool brand — the price difference shows up specifically in edge hardness/durability under extreme stress, not everyday use.
