Excellent little wire cutters, especially for the price.
These are excellent little wire cutters for the price. Klein tools are great and standard in the industry. Made in the USA is the selling point for me. Plus one star. Upon receiving I was pleasantly surprised to find the grips were a perfect solid rubber feel. Not too soft so that they deform or slip in rain or sweaty hands yet not hard like plastic or metal and keeps the metal from freezing your hands on cold days. Also helps with gloves or big bear paws like mine. Plus another star= two stars.The cutters are sharp and accurate. They were sharp and had no issues cutting through each respective insulation. They are ground quite well and fit to its mate nicely. Plus another star= three star.They have lasted for me for many cuts. All copper. Still sharp with no issues, they do not bind. The spring is a good tension. Although it was clumsy in my tool pouch so I simply removed it. Its easy to do and for storage it fits well in the vertical position while closed. The tolerances work well and with a flip of the ring finger I can open the plies just fine. Plus one star= 4 StarsAll this under 15 bucks Plus another star= five stars.Some have said that one fault here is the that the gauges are simply stamped and hard to see. This is true. However, simple tricks to the uneducated, but we are educated arent we..?Step 1. Go find yellow or white or red paint. Or any color. Use nail polish or acrylic or enamel. I used acrylic with good results as that’s what was at my girlfriends house at the time and she doesn’t wear yellow nail-polish. Nail polish or enamel will probably last longer but is easier to mess up. Acrylic has been working for months just fine.Step 2. Get small Qtip or brush. I used a qtip. Take some paint and smear it over the AWG numbers and words that are stamped. I didn’t do the warning labels as that should be well known and I didnt care to do that as well.Step 3. Let sit a few minutes then using your finger rub the excess of… USE YOUR FINGER! Anything absorbent will soak up the paint out of the stamping.Step 4. Then go around and carefully with a clean q-tip wipe the excess off. Let dry. Clean up anything extra and it should just chip away. Especially if you use acrylic.Step 5. Admire your handy work.Yes this seems excessive but USA Made is important to me. Klein has to cut some corners in order to compete with lower quality junk that’s all over. I will gladly forfeit paint in order to continue production in USA.The whole idea took 20 min from conception to completion and the tool is much more user friendly now. This review took longer. I am trying to update a picture but cant seem to find it. Maybe I will have to update a video to show this.Look at customer images or video reviews to see if I have.

Perfect for Avionics-Systems-
Fast shipping and right price. Not junk tools, stick with Klein tools! This is the best pair to put in your road box, single pair with most common size gauges. Thanks for making these.

Klein Tools Work Better Than Most
It is a Klein Tool, not much can be said, except they are the best with a great lifetime warranty and are built to last.

good quality. perfect machining hone and very sharp.
Very good small sized strippers. Good for insulation removal, or just making that perfect insulation cut and then using fingers to slide insulation off. (WHICH IS THE BEST WAY TO EVALUATE whether a plier style stripper is actually effective without causing stranded wire conductor damage!). I will use these and save a LOT of time making precision wiring insulation removal….for instance…quadrax or twinex, where the wire insulation must be perfectly trimmed at same length. The typical stripmaster cannot perform this type of stripping..not enough wire. So these pliers strippers are very good for that…with some cautions: do not use the strippers to drawn the insulation off the wire. Only use these type of strippers to make the insulation cut..then use fingers to slide insulation off. This way, no risk of causing conductor damage, which WILL HAPPEN with these type of strippers.

They are Klein brand. Enough said.
These are fantastic like almost all Klien tools. Don’t buy cheap tools, you will just have to replace them.

Spelafili fatta bene, non ha giochi e la molla funziona bene.Verso lo snodo é presente una zona dove é possibile tagliare il cavo. Costa un poâ ma sembra che sia fatta per durare nel tempo
