I know that tools are not cheap in Greece but as part of the Eurozone, you are entitled to buy anything you want online from within the Eurozone and not be taxed on importing to Greece. If you can find the tools cheaper from Germany or wherever in the EU, just click and buy
Well in some cases, the retail price has nothing to do , with the local sellers .
I found Knipex products today " locally " in the Praktiker super store , here in my town.
The prices was equally high .. But !! ... they had only the product line for electricians,
only normal size tools , all those little "micro" tools for the electronic repairs , are not that widespread !!
(I got today one aluminum tool case 430x310x135).
About Germany , they are not cheap even locally , the maximum variation in price could be 5-6 EUR ,
but with Germany we have another problem , they have very expensive shipping prices ( post office ) for the lightweight items , and very cheap for the heavy ones.
The opposite happens with UK .. so as Greek " ebayer " I am forced to buy from the UK,
and only if the UK market are dry , to get the same item from Germany ..
Example:
I got from Germany 2X Panasonic large batteries , from my UPS supply ( APC 1000XL ) ,
For about 14 kilos , I payed only 17EUR ..
9 EUR are the minimum postage price for little things.
As about the cutters , I am not brands loyal, never was.
But I will admit , that If I was aware that the Xuron was that practical - multi purpose ,
I would never ever get , the specific part code of Knipex.
The Xuron looks to be able to handle even RG213 , but its lucky as tool
,
because I do not do such works any more ... LOL
