bubbajames's Full Review: Klein Tools 9in Journeyman Side Cut Pliers (J2000 ...
On an old proven design, the Journeyman Series of Klein Side Cutting pliers adds a cushioned grip, and a more hardened steel in the cutting area.
Klein tools are to the electrical trade what Ridgid tools are to the plumbing trade. Specialized and high quality. If you do alot of electrical work, you will find your standard craftsman hand tools just don't cut it anymore.
These pliers are about 9 inches long, and are the perfect tool for grabing sets of stripped wires and twisting them together in a braid prior to capping them with a wire nut.I also use these for unbraiding wires when I want to add on to a circuit.
The cutters are great for cutting small screws to size, cutting unwanted wings off outlets and switches, and cutting excess wire.
The long length of the tool gives me leverage to remove old wire staples, and the grip is exceedingly comfortable for long working periods.
Klein makes alot of high quality electricians tools, but anyone who appreciates quality hand tools can purchase and use them. They are higher quality than the standard craftsman hand tool, closer to Channellock quality.
Most retailers will warranty them as long as you haven't blown a hole in the cutters by arching them out cutting a live wire.
Theprice may be a bit higher than Craftsmans, but it is worth it. the quality is soo much better. I lucked out and found them on clearance at Sears Essentials for less than twenty dollars.(16.99 if I remember correctly)
Fantastic prices with ease & c...(Stock status: N/A)
