Difícil acreditar que a Klein irá jogar fora toda sua história e tradição na fabricação de ferramentas de qualidade. Comprei esse alicate ano passado, fabricação USA. Pedi uma segunda peça, porém recebi um Made in México. Acabamento pior que um MTX que custa 1/10 do preço. Pior folga na aresta de corte que já vi em um alicate. Se me oferecerem de graça este alicate não vou aceitar. Lastimável.

These pliers have a solid design and feel very sturdy in hand. The cutting edge is precise, and the crimping die works perfectly. The grip is comfortable, even during extended use. Ideal for both electrical and mechanical tasks. A quality tool that delivers as promised.

I used a pair of these for year's installing chainlink fence, and a lot of other kinds. After year's cutting 9 and 6 gage galvanized steel wire and barbed wire they could still cut a loose thread off my coveralls with a little snap. Using them for their intended purpose cutting soft metal they will last forever. Lost my pair some year's ago when i started training to run cranes. This is my favorite pair of pliers ever! So when seen them on sale i had to replace them even though i don't have much need for them now.
