They seemed like decent pliers, albeit a bit pricey, with long, slim and seemingly robust jaws, but I returned them because one tip was about a third the thickness of the other and would clearly be at risk of snapping under pressure. How something so obvious was able to pass muster at Klein's factory I do not know, but I've had little luck buying US-made tools online due to similar QC problems. (The pliers also arrived covered in black oily residue stinking of gasoline, but I suspect that's a seller/return issue not Klein's fault). This review sounds like it was written by a homo. What kind of man waxes on eloquently about a fuggin' pair of pliers like that? Most men would just say, "They suck",...and be done with it. These days lots of ladies are into tools.

mark shubert Campfire Ranger M Joined: Jun 2006 Posts: 16,392 Likes: 1 Las Vegas NM	I broke a pair of #9 Kleins, back in '79.(Cracked through the hinge joint between the handles) The Klein rep happened to be in the supply house the day I went to return them - and asked what I used them for. I told him "Usually for cutting wire" and he asked what size? I replied "Oh #2, maybe #1, or #1/0" and he questioned "With cheaters?" I replied no, and he asked whether aluminum or copper. I told him "whatever" He then claimed I could not possibly cut 1/0 copper without cheaters - so we went to the back, where I cut about an inch off a roll of 2/0 copper, right in front of him -using the broken pliers! He refused to warranty them, stating "That's abuse!" I asked why they made them to open so wide, then - and he still claimed abuse. Last pair of Klein lineman's pliers I ever owned - it's been Channellock every since. I've always been a curmudgeon - now I'm an old curmudgeon. ~Molɔ̀ːn Labé Skýla~
