I have ... fairly stout if I remember correctly, I have a really old ratchet style I bought 20 years ago from Jensen that have held up well. Of all the crumpets I have used,..... As long as the crimp feels smooth, you shouldn't have any troubles 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerekTheToolGuy Posted December 13, 2016 Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 My dad was a linesman for a few phone companies so all my life Klein has been the go to for him and is for me. I also like snap on electrical tools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BababooeyHTJ Posted December 13, 2016 Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 I'm fairly certain that they're the oem. Looks like a lot of companies sell the same tool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n8n82250 Posted December 14, 2016 Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 I've had my southwire autoranging multimeter So i would have to say that it is my favorite elec-chickens tool, but hopefully when i have a well paying job i would like to buy a high end fluke meter like the fluke 87 and some other thing like and oscilloscope. Im more of like a hobbyist than a house electrician even though i still have some basics of changing out outlets and installing dimmer and stuff like that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NicolasRamos Posted December 18, 2016 Report Share Posted December 18, 2016 has anyone tried any green lee hand tools? I've used their wire strippers, and screwdrivers in the past. Keep in mind this was about 12 years ago. But similar to Klein. Im always going to be a Klein screwdriver guy. I was raised on them.

NicolasRamos Posted December 18, 2016 Report Share Posted December 18, 2016 has anyone tried any green lee hand tools? Also Greenlee's K/O punch tools are untouchable. They have a lot of high quality tools out there, so I think they would be worth giving a shot.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stercorarius Posted December 18, 2016 Report Share Posted December 18, 2016 Picked up some replacement Klein tools the other day. Should have gone with Channellock like before. The only thing that Klein seems to do very well with are their nut drivers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boyddavid Posted December 27, 2016 Report Share Posted December 27, 2016 I get great pleasure when using the product from Milwaukee, but for the use they are very expensive homes. I use only a service tool at work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theultimatehic Posted December 29, 2016 Report Share Posted December 29, 2016 I have Klein strippers for wiring in ballast and what not but dont do much electrical beyond sign lighting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Hall Posted January 2, 2017 Report Share Posted January 2, 2017 I'm in the industrial and commercial side of things and a few of my favorite tools are 1. Channellock 440 tongue and groove pliers. They are cheap and solid. I use them as a hammer sometimes (beating on locknuts). I use them for 1/2" to 2" pipe. 2. Ideal reflex super T-strippers 3. Klein demolition screw driver. 4. Klein 11 in 1 screwdriver I buy mostly American made and think Klein and Ideal are great, but Milwaukee has a lot of affordable innovative options that are made overseas. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
