The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less.

Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
The KNIPEX 74 02 200 carries a 4.8 rating from 1,700 reviews with about 100 buyers a month. It is the larger, higher-leverage cutter in this group, listed at roughly $44.
The listing confirms a plastic handle and a realistic 10.56 ounce item weight, heavier than the smaller 70 02 160, which fits a tool built for more demanding cuts. Cutting capacity and overall length are not published, so verify those on the product page if you work specific gauges.
It costs more than the 70 02 160 and has fewer reviews, but both share the same 4.8 rating. Choose this one when leverage and a heavier-duty build matter more than saving a few dollars.
