These are just great pliers...with these you get high quality tool steel that will hold up, a basic rugged design ready for your toughest jobs, and a fine grip added to the handles. They are very comfortable in my hand and they were an excellent addition to my toolbox without completely breaking the bank on Snap-On or Matco tools. The pliers were extremely stiff out of the box, but have loosened up nicely without much trouble. It seems that these days people usually go with one of the three brands for quality pliers: Knipex, Klein, or Channellock...all make excellent pliers, but have their pros and cons that you might want to consider. I've done a little research and it's all boiled down to this: Take note that Klein pliers generally do not have as much rust resistance as the Channellock pliers do. Most Channellock pliers are electronically coated to resist rust, and Klein and many Knipex pliers do not have this useful feature. If you live in somewhere tropical or by the coast where moisture is common, this might be the best option. Because I live in a desert, it's not too much of a concern here. Channellock pliers are also one of the cheaper options, though only by a little. Knipex pliers are made in Germany and have outstanding quality. They, like Channellock and Klein, make tools designed for professionals as well as the serious DIYer. Their tool steel is incredibly strong, and the tempering and hardening process that they use is probably the best there is. I have heard of people who have bent their Knipex tools and how the tempering in the tool causes them to revert to their original shape over time. I don't know of another brand that will do that...though these are one of the most expensive options, and since the company is located in Germany, customer service might be a little more difficult if you end up getting a lemon. Klein's tool steel just seems to hold up better on rougher jobs in comparison to Channellock, like cutting metal screws or cables. Knipex also has comparable quality in their steel, but I find that Channellocks tend to be a little softer in the long run. Channellock pretty much has a plier for everything. If you can imagine a plier, chances are they have it. Very good variety. Both Klein and Channellock pliers are made with fierce pride in the good o'l U.S.A. Nice to see. Knipex has some pretty slick designs in their pliers that I haven't seen with Klein or Channellock. Hope this helps. Read more

Tengo años usando esta marca y nunca me han fallado, excelentes pinzas. Read more

american made. very very hevyduity.. good product.. good for twisting heavy wire as the front jaws have about have a small gap allowing the wire to twist in them as you turn it.. these look to be all hand finished and ground.. and they were not steady hands, but this is superficial....finish is not like a german made cnc ground pair of pliers.. but is also 1/3 the price and still good solid and good materials.

I was sceptical of buying a high quality pair of pliers like this over amazon, simply because tools have a lot of counterfeits but was pleasantly surprised. The tools came oiled nicely for transit, a must, and were on the stiffer side but still highly usable out of the package. Over time the action will loosen up to be what a standard lineman's plier is like, but for out of the box this was perfect quality. If you're an apprentice electrician, this is an absolute must have, other brands pale in comparison, and could only be matched by Knipex. But for the simple reason of domestic origins, I tip favour to Klein. This does come from a Knipex fanboy btw. Read more
