Review on πŸ”§ Klein Tools D228-8 Pliers: 8-Inch Diagonal Cutting Pliers with Short Jaw, Beveled Knives & High-Leverage Color-Coded Wire Cutters by Mitch Garrido

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Fantastic American pliers

I would like to start by saying that I usually love Knipex tools, especially the side cutters and combination pliers. However, these little ones are absolutely in the same quality category as knipex. They feel a little less "accurate" and a little "tougher" than the Knipex, not to mention it's all American hammer iron. All the jaws are perfectly aligned and the opening is smooth as silk and it's clear that the hot riveting process on these tools took some time. The handles are thick and we'll be sticking with that, I don't see any future problems with handles coming loose or falling off. , as you sometimes see with cheaper tools from the hardware store. The builder holds and cuts well, the side cutters are almost razor sharp, and the needle nose pliers are well engraved and incredibly grippy. Overall you can't beat them, especially for the price. for the whole sentence. Spending $20 on an instrument isn't really a lot after you get it and realize it's going to be a long way off in your kids' lives. Highly recommended.

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Big and bulky
