Questions & Answers

What are the differences between this and the J248- What is the price of SEN at Home Depot?

It is a J248-compliant standard With the Klein 8, you get angled jaws while the J228-A offers straight jaws This is the conventional straight jaw of the 8's. As well as having a 1/4" longer handle, the angled version also has a longer handle in the specs, but this

Can you tell if these are angled? It is better to have it straight rather than curved. I would appreciate any information you may have. ?

An angled view

How do the J2000 and the J2K differ A 48-bit vs a J228-bit ?

There is a lot more power in the cutter

Can you tell me what the difference between the black and blue grips and the red and black grips is?

Diagonal cutters with blue handles and black steel blades are thicker and heavier than those with red handles and black blades.

You can't go wrong with them
5/5

The best cutters I'll ever own are these. Unless they're damaged or lost, these are the only ones I'll ever own. After I buy another pair, I'll just keep working with it. When you sweat and oil on the handles, they don't get slippery like others. The bulk may seem odd if you have small hands, but I love the way they feel. The last pair of shoes I owned lasted nearly three years of daily use before they were lost. As long as they last and continue working as they did during that time, they should last. The price isn't very much considering how long they last and work so well for the time being.

diagonal cutters are the best of the best
5/5

I have been using them for years and gave them to my sons as a gift this year. It's so easy to use and assemble mine and they keep cutting perfectly every time. These diagonal cutters from Klein must have the best heat treatment because they hold up better than all of the others that.

I don't know
3/5

It's okay to use these. A pair of my shoes was used to cut steel sheets, it feels like. Compared to my smaller wire cutters which I've had for twelve years, these don't cut as well. I find them to be relatively comfortable, but my hands are too large for them. CAT cable is the most common type of cable I work with. It takes me about 10 minutes to get from here to there.

The cutters are very well made and work very well
5/5

If you buy other Klein tools from me, you will pay more and only have to buy them Purchased these sooner should have been better.

There is a certain amount of comfort in the handles, though they appear to be harder than they are
5/5

There is no need to worry about the price being too low If you leave them in a customer's car, you won't be made to cry.
