Hercules versus Ruike LD41

The Hercules feels more sleek, but the Ruike has some really nice features. Like the full size tweezers and inline awl!!

Cool comparison.  :tu:
Be excellent to each other and always know where your towel is.

A quick update...

Tested the scissors tonight. The Ruike LD41-B just can’t match the action of the Hercules.

The beefier looking Ruike scissors did not want to cut through a thick fold of paper towel. Instead the paper towel got stuck between the scissors blades.

The Hercules scissors snipped right through. No problems.





Then I looked at the pliers. The pliers on the LD-41 are much springier. Opening wider, easier.  Also, the Ruike’s pliers pulled up while closing. Not staying inline with the back springs.

The Hercules pliers, at least mine, were not as springy and were a bit stiff when opening.  However, they stayed inline with the back springs.

This might not sound like much, but the difference made picking up small parts much easier with the Victorinox pliers.

I agree. I was just telling my son, every time I try to sway from Victorinox, they bring me back!

I will be returning the Ruike to Amazon.
