Review on ๐Ÿ”ง Klein Tools Plastic Handle Replacement Set for 8 to 9-Inch Pliers - 89 Replacement Handles by Jeff Henkhaus

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great replacement for handles!

Bought these to replace the handles on my new pair of tongs from Bahco (Sweden) as the PVC handles are not very good. Follow the installation instructions and use very hot water from a simmering pot (boil only), the handles were easy to install and I look forward to using them for many years to come. The handles of my tongs were a bit smaller than the Kliens, so next time I might use some tape to reinforce them and give them some insulating properties. They say they can't be used on live circuits, but in the past I've relied on them to remove a live wire as they're made of very strong plastic and won't snap or tear if dropped. Not recommended. As long as they don't shift, stretch, roll or slip off the pliers when really hard. An excellent replacement for traditional grips that come with pliers. Highly recommended.

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • No automatic
