  • NOT TOO SHABBY!
Size: 8 inch (D248-8)
Very decent pair of wire cutters.. has NOT missed a clean cut yet! Using these for wreath making projects & it's "off-roaded" for other adventures as well. Had misplaced my old pair; noticing that after I'd purchased the Klein's.. my all-time fave wreath maker had the exact same pair! Well now... if that isn't a sign from the Lord?! Has been nearly a year owning these with no complaints.. comparable in price.. so.. YOU folks be the judge! ... show more

  • Klein is my go-to tool maker now!
Size: 8 inch (D238-8)
Not just built in the USA, but built very well! Cutting edges are hardened, grip is comfortable, the mechanical leverage is the best I've seen: they moved the pivot point very close to the cutters so it takes significantly less force to cut heavy wires and cables.

  • Good quality tool
Size: 8 inch (D248-8)
Good tool for what we are looking for very sturdy. Not supper heavy, the grip seems to be pretty good little slippery but still very good item to have in your home or shop.
