Excellent, as a retired electrician, I love my Klein 9" sidecutters.I still have my very first pair.
The clip of the guy flipping his pliers and having them chatter is so hard to accomplish, but fun to watch.
As an apprentice I had a Journeyman tell me" Son, a good apprentice is like a good pair of pliers, right here by my side when i need them."

I have problem with Klein tools. I never broke any of them but I now perhaps only have 1 out of the many I bought over the years. They just disappeared.

Yea me too. I found that under the right "conditions", they grow legs and leave home.

My wife has suggested that I open my own Klein used hand tool shop. I've accumulated them over the years, and they've never let me down. My dad turned me onto them in 1970 (he was a journeyman electrician), when he said I'd never break them. He was so right. I also have a complete set of nut drivers, and their screwdrivers.
The only other pliers I've had in my tool box have been my Channellock tongue and groove pliers, my box joint lineman's pliers and a pair of 8" needle nose (55 years old). I inherited all my dad's Klein's and they're as good today as they were in the 50's, when he stocked up.

Well throw them out there on the HOGG first and then on the open world. IF anybody knows tools they will jump on them.
