Klein Tools 80020 Plier Set, Made in USA, Lineman's Pliers, Diagonal Cutters, and Needle Nose Pliers, Induction Hardened Knives, 3-Piece

Such great quality. Heavy duty and feel good to use. Have put them to the test and they pass.

I'm not a brand junkie, I just like good solid tools that will last the test of time. Sure I could have bought Knipex pliers but they're a bit too pricey for me. Klein pliers are known to be of great quality and I have to admit that these get the job done!

Well made set of pliers.

Best tools of each category and hood up very well to abuse.

Quality tools. Use daily.

This is a really nice set. I've always liked the simple rubber dipped handled version of any of these type of tools (vs. the bulky over-molded plastic handled versions). These are just old-school quality and all of mine seem to be machined perfectly right out of the box. Whenever I purchase anything online, I usually scare myself by going straight to the negative 1-star reviews to see what the potential problems might be. I saw a few reviews of some of these tools that the jaws didn't meet correctly, or were machined off center, etc., which scared me a little. But, I own a few other Klein tools and all have been exceptional so I took a chance. The ones I got were all perfect. I did have to check on the Lineman's pliers though, as my old ones were well worn 2nd-hand, no-name ones I got from a yard sale years ago. The jaws meet completely on those. The new Klein ones leave about 3/64" gap between the jaws when fully closed (cutters meet). I wasn't sure about this so I "Googled" it. Linemans pliers are supposed to be that way!

Works well for cutting steel guitar strings, no issues with breakage or wear after trimming 4 sets of strings.

My old employer used to supply the dykes in this kit to us. We used and abused them and they held up better than any others. This holds true for my personal set. The linemen pliers cut cable on more than one occasion with someone standing on them with no damage. The pliers are great quality. Fit and finish is what you'd expect from klein.
