Klein Tools D2139NE 9-Inch High Leverage Side-Cutters New England

I like everything made in the USA, it looks thick and sturdy.

I was hesitant to buy Klein linemans again after receiving two that were way out of spec. Klein seems to have addressed this issue and these displayed the quality that Klein built their reputation on. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] For many years I used it in chemical industry with no issue. The cutter is durable and the plier are strong. Very good plier and made in USA.

I have owned Klein Lineman pliers for about 30 years. It has just been in the last 2 years that my original pair were lost.(heartbreaking) These pliers can be used as a hammer, cutting bolts, wire, bailing wire, pulling nails, staples....and the list can go on and on and on.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am a second year electrician and work for an industrial and electrical engineering company. I always have a certain set of tools on me and as my skills evolve so do my tools. I mainly use American tools with a few German and Japanese pieces. The Klein diagonal cutting pliers are professional, industrial and always useful. I have not replaced these side cutting pliers because I don't need too, they have always work when needed.

Before I was an electrician, I would have never considered these as a essential tool. Now I'd be crazy not to have them with me. Working in the field Klein Linemans is one of the most iconic and reliable tools I've encountered, having had the pleasure of using a pair that were older than I was. Tough and durable, I'll never never need another pair. That is until I blow a hole in them...

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I started as an electrician 7 years ago, my dad got me these. I've never owned a different brand or type since, I always get a new pair of these when the teeth wear out. I've used other peoples lineman's over the years, but nothing felt right, just my pair of these. They cut, they twist, they crimp. Exactly what I want in my pliers.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought my first pair in 1986. Have for various reasons replaced them 6 times. None of the reasons were because they quit performing. It was more about my son using (losing) them and a couple of pair were misplaced. As a renovation contractor of 40+ years, they have only been third to my tape measure and hammer. And I have even, in a pinch, bought off brand similar pliers. But have only been content with my Klein's!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These pliers are the toughest ones you'll find. They're great for splicing, cutting, and everything else intended for use and are also a great hammer when you're in a pinch. I've beaten on these things a hundred times and they're still going strong!

Good pliers
