I am an ironworker who normally uses Klein pliers, but I seen these on Amazon and figured I would try them out. I like the bent handle and the quality I do recommend these for anyone who has to cut or tie any kind of rods or wire.
Not much to add to previous reviews. Very happy to have these in my tool kit. Especially handy for tightening wire.
Wow, what a tool if you need one that can't be beaten for fence repair jobs!!!
Compared to a pair of Klein Lineman's pliers I'd been previous using, these pliers seem specifically designed to be superior in each way you'd use the pliers; However, I would say that it seems a bit less in terms of durability and longevity.For cutting, the hammer and anvil style cutter combined with the higher leverage rivet allows for smoother, and easier cutting, and additionally the pliers are able to open slightly wider than the equivalent sized Klein pliers, allowing for better bites on larger cables-- However, these pliers do not have the same hardened blades the 2000 series Klein ones do, so be wary of cutting things you shouldn't be cutting.For gripping, the Channellock pliers have much more aggressive knurling compared to the Klein Lineman; it's almost a middle point between the Lineman and Ironworker pliers Klein makes, which gets you a better grip without destroying softer wires. If they're anything like their tongue and groove pliers, the teeth should last for quite a while.In terms of weight, it's notable lighter than Klein's pliers, which may be indicitive of slightly worse durability compared to them, but in light use as a hammer it seemed to hold up fairly well.The dipped handles are fairly standard; They've got a glossy finish that's a bit slick compared to something like the Klein Journeyman handles, or probably the Code Blue handles Channellock makes; The biggest issue with the handles is after a particularly hot day (95+ F), the handles actually softened up a bit and started sliding off very easily.The finish looks nice, but rusts somewhat easily, and the edges are left a bit rough out of the factory. Unlikely to cut yourself or anything, but they're definitely not smooth.Overall, these pliers are an upgrade over Klein's in most ways, albeit a bit cheaper feeling-- That said, they are significantly cheaper, so it's hard to complain.
