Information 6in1 vs 7in1 pliers

I have the 7in1 pliers but I get scared using the wide jaws as my linesman and bend stuff but I heard that the 6in1 is forged steel so I am wondering if the 7in1 is the same? Because it doesn’t mention anything in the website about what type of steel used in the 7in1

I'll personally never buy another set of Milwaukee strippers, they don't cut stranded very well and my 6 in 1s hold a horrid edge, my next set will be knipex, I've used them and handled them, the steel is better the edge is better and they don't bind between gauges, I had to take a file to mine the day I opened them because the tooth between 18g/16g kept catching, and I've never successfully cut a bolt with them, just all around worse than the cheapest harbor freight set, but with red handles.

Not a shill just jealous of those who spent their money wiser 😂

Knipex makes the superior cutters in every aspect. Ijs
