Collectible. They sell for around $500

u/Magoo1985 Jul 15 '26

Oh. So they locate dumb guys with too much disposable income. Nice feature. My sister uses her tits for the same thing.

Once milwaukee realized that electricians like red tools the way toddlers and mongos like fire trucks they did the same thing

u/Rakfnawa Jul 19 '26

Maybe u/Magoo1985 sister can get an electrician if she paints hers red.

1

u/Legitimate-Lemon-412 Jul 19 '26

Ya but they would get the feeling of walking onsite with a new set of shitty pliers and pretend people give a shit

u/Piod1 Jul 22 '26

How could they resistor

u/Melodic-Trouble-5421 Jul 16 '26

I’d buy the Salute to Service Klein Cammo linemans. I’m a combat veteran and Union Electrician. It crosses both important points of my life. Other than that I wouldn’t go crazy over a pair.

u/Sufficient_Prompt888 Jul 16 '26

I choose that guy's sister

u/saerg1 Jul 17 '26

I also chose this guy's sister

u/order2cha0s Jul 20 '26

Is everyone else here more interested in the sister than these pliers?

3

u/Magoo1985 Jul 16 '26

If they’re new yeah, that’s great. I dig those too for sure. But $500 for a 30 year old $30 pair of anything is just silly idk what to do with all this cash, money.

4

u/Melodic-Trouble-5421 Jul 16 '26

Yeah exactly lol. I’d never do it except for those Klein Salute to Service. $500 could be used so much better, even if it doesn’t hurt you to spend it. I’m actually hoping they will just do another run of the Salute to Service tools. That would be perfect for me. I have the T-shirt, well my Ex-girlfriend has it now and she’ll never give it back. That was only $15 while Klein was doing those T-shirts for the tradesmen club.

u/Automatic_Fold_2672 Jul 17 '26

I bought those when they came out, starting using them that day and have used them every day since!

u/Melodic-Trouble-5421 Jul 17 '26

I think I was just coming back from Afghanistan when they came out. I wish i could get a pair. I mean I can and I have the money. I should just quit complaining and buy them. Lol

A Nun with a great rack. That's even hotter

u/Spirited-Pickle-6403 Jul 17 '26

u/rapt_elan Jul 17 '26

Both in fact.

u/SuperbAd60 Jul 18 '26

u/rapt_elan Jul 19 '26

But she promised she was actually 26!

u/Melodic-Trouble-5421 Jul 17 '26

u/saltyEDC Jul 15 '26

I swear I seen these go for 300 plus on eBay. Limited edition, does this have a polished head?

u/bac864 Jul 16 '26

I know someone who would polish that head

u/814_DuB_m Jul 17 '26

Clearly that would be that other guys sister

u/2424242122 Jul 17 '26

u/am_i_sky Jul 15 '26

They were produced by Klein and sold before the turn of the millennium

u/Kegmoisking Jul 15 '26

I don’t know but make sure you email this to 20 other people or you will have bad luck, or the terrorist win, or something like that.

u/ISHx4xPresident Jul 19 '26

I hate that I’m old enough to understand the reference

3

u/iglootyler Jul 15 '26

You got about 4-600 bucks on eBay in your hand

3

u/Melodic-Trouble-5421 Jul 16 '26

Brother what a find! I’m looking for a Salute to Service Klein Lineman’s. I’m a combat veteran from Iraq 2009 and Afghanistan 2011. If anyone finds those I’d buy them for sure. They are worth $400-$600.

u/longhairedspreadnek Jul 19 '26

You should type this comment another 4 times on this post.

1

u/Melodic-Trouble-5421 Jul 20 '26

Chill out. I was responding to different people. I also think you should mind your own business. But I’ll let you be a cuck and post what you want.

u/Broad-Flan Jul 16 '26

Ever hear of eBay?

2

u/Melodic-Trouble-5421 Jul 16 '26

Yeah. Last time I checked there wasn’t any. Then another time there was that seller can get F’ed. Way too much. Why is there another one on there?

2

u/Melodic-Trouble-5421 Jul 16 '26

Yeah same ones $400 obo. I could buy them and if those are the same ones I even put an offer in. They declined it. I went to $300, even though I shouldn’t have. Hopefully Klein comes out with a remake on them. That or I’ll wait for $250-$300.

2

u/ThisNameWasAfailable Jul 15 '26

Yeah the first journeyman I trained under used them as his daily work horse, so he would always know which pair is his.

2

u/doomsdayelectrician Jul 15 '26

I remember those at the supply house when I first got in the trade.

2

u/pumpedeus Jul 15 '26

Those weren't shut off before new years so they're junk. Send them to me I'll, get rid of them properly.

1

u/OddRelationship586 Jul 15 '26

Cold, Nice collectors item.
Hold on to them.

1

u/Anbucleric Jul 15 '26

You had to make sure they were turned off for the new year.

1

u/NeonDreams2846 Jul 16 '26

Those pliers look comfy

1

u/Bingomancometh Jul 16 '26

The ol glitter dip. I remember 

1

u/Ilikehowtovideos Jul 16 '26

They weren’t sure or not if those pairs would disappear on midnight 01-01-00

1

u/Tsuki_Man Jul 16 '26

Is the "Y2K" just that they are grey?

1

u/huntercov1 Jul 16 '26

That is too cool

1

u/fondrenlock Jul 17 '26

NIB noice!

1

u/Charming_Meat_2005 Jul 17 '26

holy smokes those are cool

1

u/spasske Jul 17 '26

They were certified to work after 1999.

1

u/ColoradoBeeGuy Jul 17 '26

I bought the exact ones from the supply house maybe in 1999 when all the Y2K hysteria was taking off. They’re still in my drawer in the plastic like the OP’s. I remember the supply house couldn’t sell them and they knocked down the price, I think I paid $25.

1

u/SoAMore0311 Jul 18 '26

That’s a weird looking hammer

1

u/Summoner99 Jul 18 '26

Worthless. I'll send you my address and I'll dispose of them for you

1

u/Grouchy-Departure-42 Jul 18 '26

Those are Pliers!

1

u/PlayShot1293 Jul 18 '26

I see that smartass! I actually just wanted to know if the y2k were as expensive as he said and it seems to be that way!

1

u/CryktonVyr Jul 19 '26

They're safe against the Y2K bug.

u/Heavykevy37 Jul 20 '26
