are klein tools good
Have any of you actual professional electricians ever torture tested any other brand of screw drivers (in particular..) on the job site and found that some brand names really do not get the recognition they deserve? I see workers with 99% Klein and the other 1% I see with Greenlee..... Re: Klein Tools Or Greenlee. Both Klein and Greenlee are TOP quality tools with a niche market. They have a few common tools (such as rabis and ratchet cutters) and either is worth buying over pretty much anything else. They are not really direct competitors. I prefer Knipex for most hand tools except linemans. BUT- their pliers, dikes, crimpers, strippers... Basically any plier with a cutting surface are really top notch. The metallurgy in how the handle has spring but the cutting surface is so strong is the big difference between their tools and cheaper ones. Feel the spring on a set of Klein dikes vs a 10$set. At $22 and some change this meter is a great deal. I was not able to find it for that price at a box store. The meter comes with leads and battery. You're good to go right out of the box. There are other's just as good I'm sure, but I tend to lean towards Klein tools as a matter of preference. Glassdoor has 43 Klein Tools reviews submitted anonymously by Klein Tools employees. Read employee reviews and ratings on Glassdoor to decide if Klein Tools is right for you. Klein Tools. Klein Tools is an American company based in Lincolnshire, Illinois that manufactures hand tools. The company is known for its popularity with workers in the electrical and telecommunications industries. Lineman's pliers are often called Kleins, an example of a genericized trademark. Same here, not a fan of the hand tools, but the specialty tools seem to be pretty good(glow sticks, k.o. sets, etc....) I think the reference to $300 is a good benchmark for Greenlee tools. If a Greenlee tool costs $300 or more, it's worth the money. Anything less than $300 is money better spent elsewhere. Disapproves of CEO. I have been working at Klein Tools full-time (More than 3 years) Pros. Food and free coffee, union free (for now), plant management is good at times, newer buildings, popular brand, 4 day work week. Klein Tools MM100 Manual Ranging Multimeter. Top positive review. This is my second Klein multimeter. I decided this time to buy a manual ranging 600v max meter because mostly--it was cheaper than the autoranging electrician's multimeters that go up to a 1000v and higher.
