Craftsman tool returns

[Wayne02]

Want to piss me off, Lets talk about Klein tools.. I was on a job in Atlanta, I broke a pair of linemans #9s.. the Klein salesman showed up on the job and I followed him out to his car.. suddenly the coffee cups, playing cards and other goodies got handed to me. Their tools have fallen from grace in my eyes too. I have used their tools daily for 30 years.

Now that is very distressing to hear. I don't use my Klein electrical tools near as much as you have used yours of course, but I dearly love my 5 or 6 Klein electrical pliers - cutters, needle nose - lineman's, etc. They sure seem well made and work well. All my Klein stuff is older, don't have any experience with their current model tools.

Wayne:

Klein has different grades of tools.

The ones issued to me at Sequoah? I took a file and cut all the sharp edges off the pliers so they would not cut my pocket. OR my arse. Pretty crappy metal, it cut easy thou.

So: the lil man has slid down the telephone pole. My old ones, you can cut a penny with them, try that with the newer ones and you may break them.

I have been looking for my Klien 125th anniversay cup since this thread reminded me I have one.
