Hello again, Doc Thank you for another Great Video 👍 My current cutter is a relatively new Craftsman. It's only been used lightly to date. Cutting cotter keys and safety wire mostly. But I am researching for my next tool purchase. A good cutter is always needed. 👌 Again thank you
For decades I've yet to have issue with my Knipex cutters... one pair each of the 200mm regular; & 250mm notched blade 'Cobolt' version. They both see daily use... with no coddling.
Once my friend showed me how good those long snap on ones are for pulling cotter pins they are my go to for that. I actually have the titans and some other brand and they are not like the snap on. Even long knipex are not as good as the snap on even though they might cut a little better. I carry the Klein crimper/ cutters that are straight for my zip tie and wire cutting and knipex 8in bolt cutters in my bag every day. I don’t work w pins though at work
Have all three, the 388 is good for cotter pins. The 312's I have just won't loosen up. Tried leaving the pivot/blades in penetrating oil for 2 months, tried cutting oil, out them on a recip saw, still annoyingly tight.
Where are those under $20? Those are the 9" with journeyman handles and are about $40 and the 8" with standard handles are $30 with straight head and $34 with angle head. You might have been looking at the mini for 20 but not the 8 or 9 inch
The J2000-59 is a diagonal cutter as described by Klein, not a side cutter. A side cutter has cutting jaws parallel to the handles. Diagonal, well, they are diagonal to the pliers handle. 😂
As a sparky, I only really use this tool to cut tie wire. Nothing works better. I know the angled head can be used to pry open nails.
I love the green handles on the Snap-on and the cutting angle. Thanks Doc

Two different worlds klien is for electricians built to last. I still have a pair of linesman over 25 years old still work I use them daily
I have the Klein J200...they are the best!
Good job love you From Dino Mares Fontana CA

Try diamond paste. It may help to loosen them up.
I'm about to get those Klein's. Home Depot has them for $30, and my military discount knocks them down to $27.
I just bought the channelock e458.
447 for the win! 😋
@@ElectroAtleticoor 449 if you really want to cut something. 😂
those are diagonal cutters
3:30.. yeah.. those Klein are under $20... the SnapOn on are 5-6 times more money..true to SnapOn ☝️
True to everything. Quality costs more

$40 at both HD and Lowe's.
@@ElectroAtletico$40 at Lowes and Amazon, $30 at Home Depot. 😉
And totally leaves out the HF Icon Snap-On knock off cutter????
To my knowledge, Harbor Freight does not make a cutter in this space.

I gotta say, for the value, the Klein J2000 for me wins; comfy too
When you have a large selection of tools you end up using the wrong tool
Rather have the snapon not into Klein
I'd rather have money I'm not into snap-on
