Klein tools and C.E.F.

[Pete999]

Knipex cutters & cable shears are tops, but my missus bought me a pair of Kewtech insulated pliers a couple of years back. Thought they were tat when I saw them, then started using them when my Redline got knicked & love the things, really comfortable in the hand & nice sharp jaws.

I have two pairs of all insulated pliers ordinary and long nosed, hard plastic everything no metal what so ever and they cut OK think they are Knipex, need to go to a new home.

Think we've been going to the same toolshops Pete , your right though they're an excellent bit of kit.

Don't know where mine came from sort of borrowed them from work, if you get my drift.

Not cheap for me, I had to save up my pennies. But I'm hoping they'll be worth it compared with my usual cheapo cutters

Trouble is with buying decent cutters/pliers 1 simple mistake and bang goes £25:00 so be careful, don't lend em out cus as sure as eggs is eggs some Dork will hack through a live pair, bingo a trip to the big Orange shed will be called for.

The Knipex installation pliers are great, well worth those extra pennies in my opinion.

Bought some klein cutters whilst they were on sale £47 with a volt pen. Very nice snips. However the pen wasn't mightier than my washing machine.

Still a bit pricey for a poor little apprentice like myself and to say they've having monthly sales

got same style in nws. just fot to make sure 'er indoors don't get to them for cutting steel wires in the garden. DOH. she can have the old CK ones with the 6mm T/E short circuit blown in them.

Let me guess? You have no idea how that great big notch got there?

Thanks SC they certainly look solid that's for sure, think my missus has just ordered me a set of Milwaukee 6 in 1's for my birthday though. Will hold off & see.

i know exactly. about 7 years a ago my lad was about to cut a redundant 6mm T/E and i told him to make sure it was dead. plumber then pipes up " it's dead, i disconnected it" so cut and bang. that's when my lad learnt never to take the word of a wet-pants.
