Been a Klein fan boy for 36 years now. I’ve managed to supply two of my sons with my old Klein tools that I’ve replaced with new. They’re both electrician’s now and at least started on the right path. In a few years they’ll inherit all my current tools when I retire.
I just wanted to say, I've been studying hard from your personal and electrician U channel. I really appreciate all the knowledge you freely give people trying to learn... I start my apprenticeship tomorrow morning, this is the biggest step of my life. I couldn't be more thankful for all the knowledge you've provided me man. Here goes everything
Same here. I start tomorrow for a contractor in my area. I knew early on I wanted to be in the trades and watching your videos the last couple years have inspired me to reach out and join the electrical field. Thank you Dustin for sharing your knowledge and helping people get their start.
Workmanship. I inherited my Dad's tools. Kline, Ridgid, Greenlee, Milwaukee, old Craftsman. He used 'em for 40 years, I used 'em for 40 years. Yep, workmanship. Automation can bring the price down for mediocre tools but having a person who cares crafting the tool is the difference.
I've been using Klein tools for 20 years, since my first day as an apprentice. I can honestly say the quality, especially the strength of the steel, has dropped significantly. I still buy and support Klein, but I find myself switching some tools to the german steel version. I would happily pay more for Kleins if they could use higher quality steel.
I'm curious in what way you feel the steel has declined. Just general wear and tear on the tool? Teeth, cutters, rivets? I don't doubt it, I'm just curious how you've come to that conclusion in your personal experience using the tools.
@@plsreleasethekraken With the linesmans pliers, I've found the wire cutting surface wears out MUCH faster, gapping out in under a year, even when ONLY cutting copper. I would get YEARS out of my old pairs, even when cutting stupid things as an apprentice. Screwdrivers are flat out trash now. I snapped the shafts my last three flat head screwdrivers just trying to tighten screws. No prying, no abuse, and I'm not that strong. I switched to Wiha and Wera screwdrivers, and you simply cannot break those.
@@jameskoehler4939 yea, I haven't had problems with the teeth or body of pliers themselves, but agree with the pinch cutters--even on copper they seem to wear. Same thing for shear cross-cut cable cutters--they ding even on copper which is very frustration.
As much as I love Klein …..I’m adding more and more knipex. Thier lineman’s just can’t be beat. Use a pair of 9inch plastic dipped with the fish tape pull grip one day and u will be a user
I'm also slowly adding more Knipex tools to my bag. lineman, cobra, and the absolutely amazing new strippers they just released. however, i make an honest effort to prefer Klein whenever possible, like my hard hat and headlamp, and American-made when possible, like my insulated tools. while it bugs me that my "Klein's" are made by Knipex, there's no doubt why I have the tool in my hand.
Love my Klien tools! Got my first pair of linemen’s in 1968, still using them, when I graduated from vocational school in 1970, a local supply house gave each graduate from the electrical shop a tool pouch filled with Klien tools. Linemens, side cutters, needle nose, slotted and Phillips screw drivers. Still using them today, although my side cutters have worn out from so much use over the decades.
This was such an interesting video to watch and thank you for bringing us through the process of how their tools are made. I don't even remember the last time that I had an issue with any of my Klein tools and just about every tool in my bag is made by them.
I got into Klein because my dad was a lineman back in the day. When I started to take notice of tools, I noticed his old pliers felt good in the hand even though they were decades old. When I started working as an auto tech, I got a number of Klein pliers. My most used were probably my series 2000 9" diagonal pliers. Love those things.
That’s pretty cool. I imagined they were a much bigger operation for some reason. I also didn’t know they had a person who’s job It is to make sure each one feels right. Looking forward to part 2.
I love Klein tools. I’m a auto mechanic and fabricator, I actually just bought Klein’s automatic wire strippers and the ratchet crimpers for car wiring. They both are very high quality.
Been running Klein linesman and side cutters, since, my forman, made the suggestion after I first started in the field. My 3rd and fourth pay cheques afforded me to make the jump, and I never looked back.they always say, you get what you pay for, and you pay for what you get.
Quality products formerly made almost exclusively in Illinois as were many big name hand tools. Moved out due to you guessed it, unfavorable conditions for industrial manufacturing. Too bad for Illinois, but good for Texas.
I appreciate that they actually use Klein screwdrivers and other relevant tools at their work stations assembling other Klein tools. There's something fulfilling about that to me. :)
Klein makes some pretty good stuff. Dont overlook Wiha and Knipex though. I started with all klein and now have a mixed bag of klein wiha and knipex. Wera is lagit too. Cheers
@@Makitafan same, mine is a mix bag of those 4 brands as well. Each one has their own specialty. I love my 8 inch Klein Sq #2 for panels and my racheting stubby multi, my combo strippers and lineman’s and cutters are all Knipex and I don’t think anything is better, then all my drivers are a mix of Wera and Wiha (i do love my Klein nut drivers,) I personally feel like my set up can’t be beat, but I’m always open to suggestions. I’ve converted many many folks at my commercial company to this roster as well.
The first pair of pliers ever handed to me in the Navy Seabees Training Command out in Port Hueneme, Ca., were Klein lineman pliers. I ve never felt the need to change to a different brand because Klein's just work. And like you said, Dustin, Klein tools just have that feel. From lineman's pliers to side cutters, needle nose, and flat head screws drivers, Klein is my brand of choice. Lately though, the Milwaukee Fast Back utility knife makes my work simpler so I'm in that camp now. I truly enjoyed this video. Thanks!
Just so you're aware, Klein makes a nearly identical knife. Not that I think Milwaukee is bad or anything like that. Both make great tools to be honest with you.
You're right about that feeling when using Klein; that ease in cutting and splicing and most of all, the confidence I have because these pliers are truly reliable. Quite frankly, I enjoy using Klein !
When you say 'most of these companies are like that' there's usually good reason for them to be. They don't want their manufacturing process stolen. That said - good for Klein for letting the squad in for a look. Very cool.
Klein makes some good quality products. But I have to say, I think Knipex makes a superior product. It’s amazing how different they feel. Knipex feel broken in out of the box, smooth as butter. (Coming from someone who uses both brands every day.)
I found a pair of Klein lineman pliers @ a house that I was working at, I found out that they were 70 years old. Still in great shape. The home owner let me have them. 👍
I have an old Western electric telephone catalogs that all have a section claim tools. Including spurs belts specialized tools for splicing solid galvanized wire used back in the days of open wire. A guy doesn't mind paying a little bit more for made in America and the Klein logo.
My dad used the same pair of #9 Klein's lineman pliers for nearly 30 years tying rebar as an iron worker. Those pliers have been all over the country on several construction projects, New Jersey, New York city, Hollywood FL, Redstone Arsenal AL, Oak Ridge TN, you name it. Me and dad still use them in his work shop.
I also love klein tools I have a linesman pliers probably 10 years old they still work fine like today I bought them and I used them everyday keep up all the wonderful videos I love seeing the passion you have for this trade you're inspiring be safe and have a wonderful day
I was a phone lineman for 17 yrs. 9" Kleins are the most useful tool EVER made. and they last forever. I've lashed HUNDREDS of miles of phone cable and fiber with Kleins. I have one pair I've had since the mid 1980's. We would attach a small 7/16 ratchet-wrench to the end of handle, and it was super-fast for tightening bug nuts....If you don't know what bug nuts are, you have to pull their little legs apart to see them. (old joke)
Would be sick as heck if they let you follow a specific Klein tool through process and then take home with you, talk about a Xmas gift, along with it being “special”. Killer if they stamped your logo on other side of Klein logo, just for you as gift ☺️
I went to WIX factory years ago...it is interesting how much is done by hand.... another fun fact.... women are 90% of the work force...not sure if Kline is like that or not.... typically women are better at factory work than men.
Im a fan of yours bro.. was just dreaming that u could give me j2000 that I dreamed of,very rare in the philippines that we can buy and afford klein tools that u been introducing
I still have my Dad's pair of Klein linemans. He used it for probably twenty years until he gave it to me when I was a kid, and I used it through apprenticeship. I let a buddy borrow it, he shorted something and blew a chunk out of the cutters, so now I have a new pair and dad's is hanging up in the tool shop. Still grab it for the oddball thing here and there; don't think I could throw it away.
I have mixed feelings about Klein…as far as their hand tools are concerned they’re ok. But I definitely would not suggest buying anything from Klein other than hand tools. I’ve had to return a relatively new meter, a voltage tester, and circuit breaker finder the last couple months bc they’ve failed (the meter read 0 voltage and i ended up blowing up my screwdriver). Their tool pouch, multi screwdriver thing, as well as their little led flashlight is garbage as well. The handles of their strippers tend to slide right off too. Klein on the decline imo.
Can you talk a bit about your preference between the journeyman edition or the standard Klein pliers as a professional next video. American made have to love that. All my electrical tools (screwdrivers, pliers ect..) are Klein and I am not in the trades. I just love quality American tools..
They should "laser" etch the Wichita Linesman Logo in deeper. I got a pile of Kleins at a yard sale with a thin amount of surface rust on them. By the time I got them oiled, sanded and polished up....I could barely see the guy on the pole. Who wants a Ferrari where's so ya can't see the prancing horse?
Great video! Did you give them some input on new pliers they could make? Lol. I remember you going on a rant about how you wanted a plier with this feature and that feature, etc.
Little disappointing. You had total access and didn't show any of the detailed CNC, hardening, sharpening, etc. Less from you and more talk from one of their manufacturing experts would have been nice. I learned almost nothing.
So.... I have a question.... or rather, looking for advice... 1. I buy a house. Inspector of course, barely does his job (doesn't). 2. When I swapped ALL of the light bulbs to LED, I noticed there's a rapid dim-bright behavior once in a while.... Annoying. Had an electrician out here, due to a smell, and they replaced an outlet in the master bedroom. Later, lights still doing the bright-dim stuff, so not resolved. 3. Later, I changed the old 1998 vintage breaker for a DFCI (GFCI/AFCI) breaker, since the bathrooms were on that same master bedroom circuit. Instant trip. (The other AFCI that I installed for 2nd bedroom has no issues.) 4. I went ahead and changed ALL outlets. Outlet tester reports all good. In no way, are any of the hots or neutrals touching the sides of the box, visually. No joy/no change. 5. Disconnected everything on that circuit. Opened an outlet back up, removed receptacle. Neutral to ground continuity ok.... BUT.... meter reads continuity from ONE of the hots to neutral and also ground. Hmmmm... At the panel, between neutral and hot for that circuit, 14 ohms. What might this be indicative of? Any troubleshooting methodology around that, before I go ahead and get an EXPERIENCED electrician out here?
Wires in the walls might be missing some insulation, could be a nail through the Romex sheathing and it could be intermittently causing a small short (tripping the AFCI) could be old wiring finally giving up and causing an arc somewhere you aren't seeing causing the AFCI to trip Could be you have a compressor like a mini split it a window ac unit tapped into that circuit and causing the AFCI side to go oh no and cut the connection. There is a lot of reasons WHY it can trip. Or it could be that that Dual function breaker is tripping. Sometimes from factory it's defective as well.

Worked for Klein in their packing department at their Skokie Illinois location after high school in the late 60's.

Klein used to be good until they started using low carbon steel from China.

When you say 'most of these companies are like that' there's usually good reason for them to be. They don't want their manufacturing process stolen.
That said - good for Klein for letting the squad in for a look. Very cool.
Another great video Dustin .

Hey Dustin! Did you ask if they could make a 14ga to 6ga wire strippers? 😎
I was following your channel,and I wish to have tools like yours,I am electrician from philippines
Knipex for ever .
American Made quality that has never sold out to China for more profit . Theyre some of the best tools you can ever use
"About a third of what they produce in this one building are strippers..." The rest are exotic dancers
Knipex rules
Not electrician
Occasionally working with my cousin his master electrician
I love using Klein tools
Had L
Klien moved any production to China or another low cost Country?? I hope not!!!
Great set of videos. Now I know why I like my Kleins so much. Makes me want to go out and buy more.
I really love all of my Klein tools!
@0:45 Damn...that is a shit-ton of money (and metal) on the back of that trailer :)
They are in business because guys like me leave their tools in attics and rooftops!
You filmed everything but seventy percent of the video was on you doing sign language.
Imagine going to school for 2 years just Tolleson to smack around a pair of pliers.
" I'd you don't use KLEIN you must be a part time electrician ".
Huh, I thought "how its made" got canceled a long time ago. Glad to see there's a new episode lol.
How bout you start hitting the gym too mr.alphaElectrician
Had a brand new pair of dikes, black red handles. Snapped the edge in a day. They replaced them.
27 thousand units a day and i cant get a single pair of strippers at my local homie depot....
I like plier klien tools sir..but i cant afford..☺️☺️🙏
They let you film because is Free advertising . And it's like a technical visit but in a on-line Mode
They should make them a lot longer so we could have better grips on hammering staples
I use my commercial electric linesman cause I don't want to ruin my Klein pair.
Klein tools do have a clean , strong integrity!!
My Klein diagonal cutters are still as stiff as the moment they came out of heat treatment apparently.
awesome Dustin..... how do they get sharpened???
Longer video! I want to see the full processes
how carpenters' pliers are made: cut a hot wire with your kleins.
I want one of every Klein!! Journeyman grip for the win!!
Thanks for bringing us such a nice content I do really enjoyed.
So.... I have a question.... or rather, looking for advice...
1. I buy a house. Inspector of course, barely does his job (doesn't).
2. When I swapped ALL of the light bulbs to LED, I noticed there's a rapid dim-bright behavior once in a while.... Annoying.

Neutral to ground continuity ok.... BUT.... meter reads continuity from ONE of the hots to neutral and also ground. Hmmmm...
At the panel, between neutral and hot for that circuit, 14 ohms.
What might this be indicative of? Any troubleshooting methodology around that, before I go ahead and get an EXPERIENCED electrician out here?
Wires in the walls might be missing some insulation, could be a nail through the Romex sheathing and it could be intermittently causing a small short (tripping the AFCI) could be old wiring finally giving up and causing an arc somewhere you aren't seeing causing the AFCI to trip
Could be you have a compressor like a mini split it a window ac unit tapped into that circuit and causing the AFCI side to go oh no and cut the connection. There is a lot of reasons WHY it can trip.
Or it could be that that Dual function breaker is tripping. Sometimes from factory it's defective as well.
Even your old pair,will appreciate so much
Well yeah your a electrician Klein tools are for electricians
" If it doesn't say KLEIN it ain't worth a dime"
The family name still owning and running the business is awesome
come one man, sme of us have an attention span and can handle videos longer than 9 minutes..
Thank you Klein!!! A+ video Dustin!
Great video bro 👌💯, it's a very nice insight on the inside
But did they give you a box with one of everything?!?!
" Klein tools and Electrician U - a Winning combination ".
Wish they would bring back some of the older style of wire strippers 🙄 they weren't as easy to tweak them out
The ones with the stepped cutting edges were great.
I just thought they were expensive this is nice to see it’s for a reason
More respect to Klein .....AWESOME
