Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

These are solid. Haven't seen any signs of rust yet. They operate easily, cutter is sharp and the jaw serrations are very sharp which is great for good grip. They're comfy, steardy and very well built.

It is very heavy and well engineered. Great tool and exceptional cutting. Good solid purchase. These linemans are a great deal for the price.

Heavy-duty, pro tool that operates smoothly, has very comfortable grips, cuts 12 awg wire like butter. Grab super tight enabling me to bend wires with ease. Strong enough to grab and twist wires as well as pull wires into a box.

Cons

Nothing like a klein side cutter. Replacement pair opens/closes easily but has crooked jaws and also doesn't close all the way. Despite the description saying the country of origin is usa, the packaging for the plies says they are made in china.

This is for harry homeowner only. The grips are horribly uncomfortable. The grip is way too wide and the handles are too thick.

After testing them they have a great grip good on the cutting side so far and overall great balance

Theyve even been run over by an 8k pound forklift

Very hard metal ive cut nails without bending the cutting parts of the lineman

Price

Great price for what they are and are very handy tool for hvacr techs and electricians and people who are handy

A little pricey but by far best quality

But for the money these are great quality

I am an apprentice starting out and tools are not always in the budget

Shipping

Amazon prime delivered them to me in record time

Delivered several days late but works as expected

Competitiveness

Just as good as kleins at a better price

Don’t compare these to klein because they are not

I usually compare all my pliers to klein linesman pliers i believe in kleinafter doing my research by reading the reviews about... Read More
