Good puller fits hand tools

I've been using Klein Tools for 10 years now and these pullers are pretty good. I miss spring a bit but these work just as well

Pros
  • Excellent construction
Cons
  • Damaged

Quality, USA made with hand tools

Good weight and ergonomics. Great cutting ability. Simply strip and pre-twist the wire. I haven't tested the crimper function yet. All in all I would buy again.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Not for everyone

Klein cheaper

Very disappointed in Klein Bought a pair of these a few years ago and they had a lock to keep them closed but the novelty ends up in my tool bag as they don't have a lock

Pros
  • Durable finish
Cons
  • Only available in black

Heavy Duty Wire Stripper

This tool will cut 8-18 AWG solid and 10-20 AWG stranded wire. It crimps bare 10-20 AWG connectors. This tool instantly cuts both wires and electrical screws. It has slots specifically for 6-32 and 8-32 screws. The curved shape of the handle in combination with the soft grip ensures comfortable handling. I wish Klein had published them sooner.

Pros
  • GOLS Certified
Cons
  • Unbelievable Price

Jaws have play: Hand tool

The jaws on the end of the tool have play even when fully closed (see picture). The gap is large enough for AWG 20 stranded wire to pass through like a business card without resistance (see video). The scraping function works quite well, as does the cutting edge, but the gap in the jaws is problematic. I expected more from Klein Tools at this price point. The buttons are very nice, there's no wobble on the hinge, they open and close fairly smoothly too, and the construction feels solid. That's…

Pros
  • Very good value
Cons
  • OK
