Review on Klein Tools D301 6 Standard Long Nose Pliers by Ross Bagby

I've always appreciated the Klein tool. I've been opening different ones for many years. Having always had good luck with these tools, I decided to purchase a spare pair of needle nose pliers. Since I had a little more money to buy quality, I ordered a pair of pliers from Klein. I was very happy about them! When they arrived I liked the spring-loaded open/close function. Very cool and helpful. However, apart from the elasticity, the beautiful yellow color and the name Klein, I was disappointed. They don't hold onto anything very well. Your journeyman tongs are excellent and have lasted me almost 20 years. The tip of the needle doesn't even have a wire cutting blade. I'm disappointed in everything. I consider it a good tool for life. I always encourage my friends and family to buy a good Klein instrument, but perhaps I should refrain from doing so.
