Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

The klein linesman are a staple. Many electricians swear by them. The cutter is wider than most other cutters. As an electrician, these pliers are my go to for the job.

A little pricey but you get what you pay for! There are some products so good that the brand is synonymous with the product band-aids, kleenex, jet ski.

The non-insulated connecter crimper works fantastic. They are great for crimping, twisting, and sometimes (more than they should be) a wonderful hammer. My only complaint is that they came with a good bit of machining oil on them.



Cons

Out of the box these were stiff, no amount of lubricant seems to help. While the gripping surfaces are fine, the cutter is not. Instead there is a 2mm gap that makes this utterly useless.
