Hardest Cuttings jaws, Easy to open and close
i have a few cutters of this type. The Linesman pliers I have include Klien, Proto and Snap-on. THese Kliens seem to have the hardest edges of any of these. They do not show any signs of indentations or deformation where the Snap-on and Proto 8" linesman do. The Klein Linesman are quite hefty and are my second choice. The Snap-on do not open and close easily with one hand. The Vintage Proto work very well and are a good size but have developed dents in the cutting edges over the years. Although they have been used far more than the others. I have put these Kliens to the test on nails and thick wire bindings. And they take the abuse. The smaller size of the jaws allow you to get the tips into tight spots where a Linesman plier will not fit. A quality tool.

Seems good like most Klein tools, they hold up in the industrial electrician field
I like the thinner grips but that’s just a preference thing, like most Klein Tools, they are made well and last a long time especially if you take care of them, and or don’t burn a home in the cutting something hot and make contact with a conductive source lol!
