Klien Tools have landed

[LankyWill]

So Klein have hit the uk, i hear they stock them in cef. Anybody have any experience with their tools in regards to quality, workmanship and how they perfom? Ive ordered a set of insulated electrician combi pliers and like the look of their kit.

To be honest I don't think they look great and Cutters etc feel bulky. I was in CEF the other day and got quoted £70 + the dreaded for some klien side cutters. I told him to poke them and grabbed some CK cutters instead. Other sparks must like them though as they seem to be flying off the shelves in my local CEF. Imagine paying 80 odd quid for some cutters and the apprentice comes along and chomps a 3.5 screw in half with them lol.
