Klein tools and C.E.F.

[Pete999]

Nothing to do today, so I thought I would take a trip up to my local C.E.F. because I had an email saying that there was going to be a Super Rod stand with bargains galore, didn't want any thing just a trip to see what the craic was.
There was a Klein Rep there with all the NEW tools that Klein had just brought, all very nice, if very pricey the new screwdrivers he had on show, I was using 10-15 years ago, nearly bought a torch, but at £29:00 I declined, they are going to be at the C.E.F. Live show next week if anyone is inclined to fritter away a few quid.

Just a warning.... We brought some Klein stuff last year sold to us with "lifetime guarantee" as per the Klein saleman and posters etc, turns out they're now gone back on this and are only giving a 3 year guarantee. Feel a bit ripped off.....and won't be buying more!

Blimey no cheap then?

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

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.

Was drooling over the Knipex installation pliers, then I saw the price
