Review on 🔧 Klein Tools D2000-7 7-Inch Pliers: Heavy Duty Side Cutters for Cutting ACSR, Screws, Nails, and Wire - High Leverage by Lamar Marshall

So sturdy right out of the box that there's no point in opening and closing it with two hands. I had to use sand and wd-40 to break them in. To be honest, if knipex produces linear manipulators of this size, I wouldn't even think about it. I believe they are better quality than most but I have gotten cobalts of this size that are better out of the box, much cheaper and come with a hassle free lifetime guarantee. All I can say is that they can survive cobalt. I would suggest saving money and investing in cobalt until knipex makes a smaller pair that will outlast the other two brands I mentioned. Update: After cutting through an old drywall screw, the blade broke off, which I don't expect from heavy installers. by small. I've only had them for a few days. I would recommend them even less than before. Don't waste money
