  • Good quality
Size: 8-Inch Style: Tool Set
Works great. Cutting surfaces are sharp and even. Handle hinges nicely. No slop, or binding. Worth spending a little extra for a toll that works good and seems like it will last a long time.

  • Great quality
Size: 8-Inch Kit Style: Tool Set
These items came quick and were exactly what I needed. All of the blades were sharp enough to cut through wire and the Klein tools have not disappointed

  • Great quality at a great price
Size: 8-Inch Kit Style: Tool Set
This set is terrific, particularly for people who might need to do some electrical work. Each tool is top quality, sturdy, and durable. And the price is quite good given each tool is probably $27-30. Highly recommended.

  • Two years of abuse and still good!
Size: 8-Inch Style: Tool Set
I purchased these from Amazon about two years ago, primarily to use for electrical work (cable cutting) and also because the handles were longer than my old (unbranded) pair and I could apply more leverage power to the cutting jaws. The cutting head is not large but the jaw opening is more than adequate for any jobs the cutters were designed to do. The handles are of a very comfortable design and have never hurt my hands, even when applying excessive pressure. I am not a trades person so they are not in everyday use and sometimes they might not even be used for a month! Although they have manufacturers limit specifications for what diameter and material they are capable of cutting without damage to the surfaces I have taken no heed. I use them for cutting anything from electrical cable (they are perfect for this), to the occasional cutting of nails of all the common diameters found in home buildings (up to 7 to 8 AWG). I also use them for cutting high tensile farm fencing wire (10 AWG) which they do with ease. So far I have not damaged the cutting edge. Of course this could be that as I am getting older I do not have the strengh in my wrists that I did when I was younger! Notwithstanding that they are not intended for abuse, the cutters are of very good quality and should last many many years if they are used within their specifications. That said, my old (unbranded) cutters are now 25 years old and they are still serviceable, but with the shorter handles I cannot aplly as much force! ... show more

  • The best side cutting pliers you can buy. Period.
Size: 8-Inch Style: Tool Set
OK, so there is a reason that you will see a set of Klein side cutting pliers in almost every single tool bag of any electrician across almost every profession. They are spectacular tools and perform as expected. It almost seems pointless posting a review for these but, in case you are on the fence, get off of it and buy these. You will NOT be disappointed. I have personally carried this set in one form or another for 30 years. I still have the first pair I purchased. This set was purchased for a toolbox I set up for a position I accepted recently. ... show more
