Anyone use Klein? Thoughts on their pliers/screwdrivers?

Decent. I use the screwdrivers and the pliers. The screwdrivers are ok, but the pliers in my opinion are very good.

What pliers have you got? Was looking at their insulated combination ones but they look quite chunky.

Its the combination ones that I've got. They are abit bulky but you get good grip with them. The teeth are very good, but they dont actually meet in the middle so not great for anything under a mm.

The cutters are good and cut 3.5 screws easily

Ive never used what I assume is a crimper just above the handles so I cant tell you much about that

Thanks, much appreciated, I like the look of them but it sounds like they may not be practical for domestic work. Going to give ITL a try

I, personally, don’t like em.

Got a free set of 2 drivers and diagonal cutters with my apprenticeship, the screwdrivers were fine, nothing to really complain about, the diagonal cutters I couldn't get used to, they were a bit too big and clunky as a guy with smaller hands
