Review on Klein Tools D213-9NE Pliers: High Leverage 9-Inch Side Cutters for Cutting Copper, Aluminum & Soft Metals by Charles Phillips

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Indestructible? - Pliers

Simply the best. I grew up with the same pair and after seeing the pair for over 30 years I finally gave them to my uncle and bought a new pair. For an electrician, this should be their first post-PSA purchase. I believe my pair were new in 1979 and we're looking straight in the face of a 14 that they still work, albeit with a minor cut: so that's an impressive feat for a tool that has been in daily use for over 30 years. I don't want to be sentimental, but after my father died I took this tool for myself, this tool reminds me of what he taught me at work. Be there and ready, be dependable, be adaptable, be strong, and your quality will shine through in your work. Use the right tool for the right job. To be honest, when I think about what is right in this country, this tool is a perfect example. I know, quite coincidental, but so true. I'm proud to support an American company that prides itself on quality workmanship and doesn't take all of their jobs overseas.
