Just spotted at Aliexpress 8-in-1 Multi-Purpose Pliers Industrial Electrician Insulated Wire Strippers 1000V VDE..
WIHA Model Number: 45489 €36.99

Product carton box this is full of Chinese text at the back side.

Negative customer reviews started to pile up, by them saying that this is not genuine stock.

The Chinese seller were forced to speak the truth ... This is WIHA production from China and there is and another production site at Vietnam.

Personally as European, I will never give my money to WIHA or to any branding which  moves production outside of Europe.
Here is my own question: Is WIHA still managed and owned by Germans?

Attached PDF from Wiha Werkzeuge GmbH..

Within Europe this is named as Wiha 45705, document date 11/2023.

Order no.: 45705
Article number: Z13022509SB
EAN: 4010995457051
Country of origin VNM = VietNaM  :P

Major European e-shop websites they list it as no longer available.
Neither the European sellers tolerates, WIHA this having international back doors, which cause pricing discrepancies.
EU retail pricing 45~60E     

Mr. Kiriakos you did another one and major discovery...   ;)
