I am starting a new research at the sector of Automatic Wire Stripper.
Weicon No.5 this is approximately 20 years in the market.
The problem, was and is
product pricing.
Weicon No.5 KNIPEX And even
Low End Chinese wire strippers.
All are priced at unjustified and or unreasonably levels.
I did discover
Weicon No.5 this marketed by another German brand
in Greece, at
21.50 Euro with VAT, that is
12.50 Euro lower than
Weicon German pricing policy (
34 EUR in Greece).
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Today I did touch this
Weicon No.5 at local store electrical supplies, I did feel immediately that is a tool with less than five Euro manufacturing cost.
This is tiny in dimensions tool, while all stock photographs over the internet they do present it
as larger than what it is.
KNIPEX this got in the game of selling spare blades for some of their product codes.
A pair of plastic jaws with two blades for 20 Euros?
Pricing of their plastic Automatic Wire Stripper 50~100 Euro?
Nothing makes sense, so far. https://www.weicon.de/en/wire-stripper-no.-5-for-all-common-stranded-and-solid-conductors-i-working-range-0-2-6-0-mm2/10006786 https://products.ffgroup-toolindustries.com/product/7299/wire-stripper-cutter
