Tough and gets the job done

Great tools from Klein! The sturdy side cutouts have never let me down. I keep it in my tool bag and use it quite often. You can't go wrong with Klein!

  • Good thing
Cons
  • Available in white only

ideal for cutting copper wire

ideal for cutting copper wire, nails and screws. They work much better than my Knipex side cutters. Don't waste your money and buy these.

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons

Quality control issue - peak on blade

I had a pair of journeyman ladies before so when I saw that this pair required a bit more effort to cut wire I just assumed it had something to do with it. I've used them sporadically for over a month, mostly working with larger wires, but sometimes I've noticed that they don't cut smaller wires. When you're busy getting the job done, you might think that something else prevented you from breaking through, and you just keep going. I took a closer look the other day and noticed that the cutting…

Pros
  • Test for one year
Cons
  • Quality

The Journeyman series costs a few dollars more.

The Journeyman series is extra hard compared to traditional small tools. They can cut through hard wire, while the red-handled regular ones are only good for copper and aluminum. Buy these to extend the life of your torch and be able to cut more material. I have recessed grips because they don't take up as much room in my tool bag.

Pros
  • Short jaws and beveled cutting edges for cutting wire
Cons
  • Folded

Ideal for cutting wires and small nails/screws.

Klein makes great hand tools for the homeowner or dealer, after using them for a few months I finally tried to cut too many nails and the tip is broken. After being denied a warranty replacement by two local electricity suppliers in town, I called the Klein helpdesk. They were extremely helpful, explaining that I should try Home Depot, which I did, and they swapped them out on the spot with no questions asked.

Pros
  • High lever design. The rivet is closer to the cutting edge which provides 36% more cutting power than other plier designs
Cons
  • No Instructions

Kline has always been good. And now they say their "insulated " pliers aren't insulated?

I've had Kline tools for decades. This is to replace a pair of lost cutting tools. I've noticed a new warning that says they are "non-insulated" and do not protect against electric shock. My guess is some fool tried to use them on a 10kV line and got roasted and then the Klein family sued. They appear to have the same rubber grips as my lost pair, which has never made me take a picture before. I haven't tested them yet, but I suspect rubber is still classified as an insulating material? Find…

Pros
  • Curved head pliers for easy work in tight spots
Cons
  • Not bad, but...
