Channel lock stuff is all good for about the first week. Then the cutting blades get dull fast. The only thing I use from channel lock these days is their 16” water pump pliers and maybe the large filter wrench..,but even that get full teeth and slips on filter. The Klein stuff is good. Klein makes THE best automotive wire strippers, ratcheting crimpers and they have some great flashlights, tool bags, meters, levels and multibit screwdrivers/drivers etc. I’m not big on their pliers. I use knipex…I’m reeling this to ensure you you’re not missing much from Klein other than said tools above.
The picture came out right today I meant to say something about the last review but you do great reviews Man keep up the great work I like how your doing single tool reviews and there still long and good content. Like the new stand lol. The reason everyone loves there 11 in 1 is cause in the US there’s allot of 1/4,5/16,and 3/8 nuts on allot of electric stuff and for us to not have to pull 3 drivers out to open one electric panel just looks crazy in front of your boss or your peers.
In order to crimp connectors , you need to strip the wire . The crimping die requires great skill to use , as it isn’t controlled cycle , and a gas tight connection can’t be assured . Not trying to be a smart arse .
Klein and Knipex are very similarity priced if you take out the import price up they're nearly exactly the same for example your pair and the Klein journeyman series with fish tape and crimper are the same price and have all of the same features . However it cost 79 dollars on the kleins are 58 dollars. Klein ranges from 38-98 (for kleins I mean Linesman's) and the knpiex range from 40 -112
5 reasons Linesman's pliers are better then combination pliers, Lineman's are better hammers , they're normally larger. I've never seen combination pliers with cross hatched jaws. Ummm I can't think of 5
Dan, I could only wish for one of those. I use a Craftsman lineman pliers, it is 3 times cheaper with lifetime warranty. I use it as a screw cutter and hammer than the actual use of the tool. Thanks for your video.
I have these and I love them, but when I first got them I needed to cut a screw shorter and it ended it marring the cutting edges. It was no more hardier than the chain you cut in this. Wonder if I got a dud.
The Klein and Knipex linemans are comprable, the Channellock pair have weaker cutters, in fact they are the only cutters that I have chipped while cutting screws, still can't beat them at their price point.
The Knipex are my favorite linemans pliers. Just like my favorite water pipe pliers, both made by Knipex.
Strip the wire before crimping the terminal.

Your information is useful

Knipex are the best!

Crimper on the kleins works wonders. But the klein 1005 is my favourite for crimping connectors on
