Those are very likely not made by those brands. Hazet, Stahlwille and Gedore sell top end tools, but they mainly focus on manufacturing those basic forged handtools like the sockets and wrenches, a lot of other stuff is rebranded from other more niche brands.

I think Knipex does not make them either.

The most well known top end snips from Germany are made by Bessey and it is very likely they supply them to those top brands (Hazet, Gedore and Stahlwille). NWS also makes them.

Buying Bessey snips is cheaper than buying Hazet, even if they're the same just different branding...
