Channellock 369CRFTCB Linemen's Pliers
Price $20
Channellock Code Blue Lineman's Pliers (side cutting pliers)
These have a fish tape puller, crimper, smashing area, a 12 AWG stripper and looping hole.
I bought these new from amazon.com for $32, used them for 1 week and we just don't fit each other... going back to Klein
They are in excellent shape, just a few typical scratches and my initials engraved small on one side.
You will only pay actual shipping cost for your preferred shipper (no handling surcharge baloney!)
Weight 1.1 lbs.

You got that right. At least introduce yourself in the introductions forum before you head over to electrician swap.

Looks like there's way too much going on there.
Crimper, fish tape puller, side cutters, 12 gauge stripper and wire bender.
I like to have 2 linemans, one pair with the strippers, and another pair with without.

I have not bought a single pair of Klein lineman's yet.
I rebelled against the old heads that tried to tell me that only Kleins "fit your hand".
Apparently they're 1 size fits all, and everything else is 1 size fits none.

KLEINS arnt 1 size fits all, go to a supply house pick up 5 pairs and the handles are closer on some and farther appart on others, you buy the pair that feels best.

I was be sarcastic towards the statements made to me by older electricians.
I have only owned Craftsman and Greenlee lineman's so far and nobody has had an issue with my workmanship as a result of those tools.

A real electrician will do quality work, regardless of the quality of his/her tools.
Quality tools are simply more effiecient and comfortable.
(I'm not bashing you or your work here, Frasbee, just making a statement about all electricians.)

Now, I've introduced myself in that forum. Glad to be here. This site helped me decide to get in this trade.
I was a civil engineer for 5 years but decided to switch to working with my hands. So very glad I did.

 I love it! Yeah, I had these sitting at a garage sale all day Sat. with no takers. I was duped!
Now here's a question for you Klein lovers:
Heavy-dipped handles ... OR ... regular type?
