Not as good as expected

Jaw clearance of pliers is approximately 2mm when closed and is not parallel . The Klein Tools logos on the handle are written on glossy plastic, making the hand slippery when in use. One of the cutting edges had a protrusion that I had to trim off.

Pros
  • PLIERS FORGED IN THE USA BY US CUSTOM STEEL for durability with induction hardened blades to cut ASCR, screws, nails and most hardened wire
Cons
  • Some minor things

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Great but bulky

These pliers are absolutely premium tools. Unfortunately, when I ordered it, I didn't realize how big and how heavy they are - my fault for putting that information in the product description. So they didn't work for me. But if you want such a professional tool, this is a good choice.

Pros
  • COMFORTABLE RIDE BI-MATERIAL handles provide a better grip, and unique hardened handles absorb the "click" when cutting wire
Cons
  • Don't remember

Pros
  • Hand tool
Cons
  • Very expensive

Buy them, more ergonomic.

The same great product from Klein, approximately 1" shorter than the 9" pliers. It feels more natural in my hand instead of bulky and oversized like regular linesmen. I was afraid they wouldn't cut the MC cable that easily, but it cuts right through. I wish I had bought them sooner.

Pros
  • Tools & Household Items
Cons
  • Requires an outlet
