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.
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.
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.
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 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.
