Klein Tools Diagonal Cutting Pliers are on sale for $8.26, these are good side cutters for electronics use, I have these and a Knipex pair and these are just as good as the Knipex I think I prefer the harder steel on these. I did pay $15 for these when I bought them a few years ago on sale. These are made in Mericaaaa

  This is a high quality tool. I bought this exact one in 1996 and after 29 years, it still cuts things very well. I bought mine from a mum and dad corner hardware store for $1.80 which was a lot of money back then. It's still amazing that after so many decades it is still made in USA. Everyone should buy this and when you get old, you can hand it to your children or if you never married and planning to die alone, you can give it to your nephews and nieces. It will last over 100 years.

    $1.80 which was a lot of money back then

    Was it? Wasn’t a small cheeseburger meal $2 at McDonald’s around that time?

  Bought three to use my $10 off $20 spend promotional code for downloading a free book from Amazon. Thanks for the post.

  Indeed a quality tool, I bought one a few years ago and it's been my go-to for cleaning up 3d prints. Has a few dents from where I stupidly used it to cut 0.6mm stainless tie wire.

  Overall I prefer the smoother action on the knipex super knips, and the wire catcher that comes with some knipex models. This has always cut extremely precisely though

    The same happened to my knipex cutters i was soldering some through-hole components and I snipped a leg that was soldered and it was a tad too thick and dented the cutting surface, i used a mini file to make it good again but it is kind of disappointing. User error probably but I have had Aliexpress side cutters do better, as for these Klein tools no issues yet.

      Always a balancing act with these type of snips between being hard enough to cut without denting bit not too brittle to snap.

      I shattered the tip of my cheap ones that came with my 3d printer, trying to nip off a bit of plastic from a print.
