Review on πŸ”§ Klein Tools J207-8CR Needle Nose Pliers: The Ultimate All-Purpose Linesman Pliers for Crimping, Looping, Cutting, Stripping, and Shearing by Matthew Davenport

Revainrating 5 out of 5

good tool when it really works

I bought these to replace a pair I got a year and a half ago. It's a good tool, but I'm tired of buying Klein products and soaking them in cutting oil or PB Blaster to use them. Once again I soaked them in a PB blaster for a day, now it's cutting oil and they still haven't come loose! Klein makes quality tools, but FFS learned to make pliers that I can use right away! It looks like your competitors have no problem with that. Also, the first pair they sent me was defective and the 20AWG stripper ended up crushed. The pliers I bought a few weeks ago were also defective and had to be sent back. They were not properly hardened and dulled after two days of cutting 14 AWG. This company seems to be going downhill. EDIT: Put this in coolant for four days and they still haven't loosened. useless garbage.

Pros
  • Tools and Housewares
Cons
  • Generally good but...
