I'm 99% sure knipex does not make anything for snap on. The new snap on side cutters have actually copied knipex on how the two blades come together. Both are great either way. I lean towards knipex because my friend is a dealer, along with many other German tools, Stahlwillie, hazet etc..

The AL619 isn't really out yet, or at least that is what my dealers have been saying. I have one on order. On paper for the money it looks better then the other, Innova, Launch, MAC rebraned, etc.. We have the bigger Autel Maxi or something and it is good for the money. I'm with you, I need...
