Review on πŸ’ͺ The Ultimate Powerhouse: Klein Tools 80020 Linemans Induction - Unleash Unmatched Performance! by Gary Duncan

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Two years of bullying and still good!

I bought these from Revain about two years ago, mainly for electrical work (cable cutting) and also because the handles were longer than my old pair (unbranded) and I could fit more Effort in the cutting jaws. The cutting head is small, but the opening of the jaws is more than adequate for whatever work the knives are intended for. The handles have a very comfortable design and never hurt your hands even when squeezed hard. I am not a trader so they are not used in daily use and sometimes they may not even be used for a month! Although they have manufacturer limits on the diameter and material they can cut without damaging the surface, I didn't pay attention. I use them to cut everything from electrical wire (they're perfect for this) to the occasional trimming of nails of all the common diameters found in homes (up to 7-8 AWG). I also use them to cut high strength (10 AWG) binding wire, which they do with ease. Until I damaged the edge. Of course, this may be because as I age my wrists lose the strength they had when they were young! While not meant to be abused, the cutters are of very good quality and should last for many, many years. when used within their specifications. However, my old (unnamed) cutters are 25 years old and still working, but with shorter handles I can't exert myself as much!
