Well made, strong and truly lasts forever. I inherited this tool from my brother 16 years ago and he had them for 6 years. Still cuts and works like a brand new tool. Highly recommended.

Been using the same pair of Journeyman’s cutters for 15 years. The handles get softer and even more comfortable over time and only need sharpening every few years with heavy use. If any electrician or low voltage tech arrived at your home or place of business and you don’t see these or and Klein tools, throw them out as the real pros like us only use the best !!

Is a good value? They are expensive but they are really well made and will last a long time (judging by a friend who has been using his for many years).
I have been using these diagonal cutters for years and this year bought them as a stocking stuffer for my sons. I use and aduse mine and they just keep cutting perfectly. Klein must have the heat treatment of these diagonal cutters perfect because they hold up better than any I have tried.
I have other Klein tools you pay more, but you only will buy it once. Should have bought these sooner.
I'm a professional industrial electrician and these are the best and only cutters I'll ever own, unless I lose them. Then I'll just buy another pair. The handles don't get as slippery as others with sweat and oil. If you have small hands they may seem bulky but I love them. My last pair lasted 3 years of nearly daily use until I lost them. They still worked great at the time, so expect them to last. The price isn't a lot when you consider how long they last and how great they work in the meantime.
These are okay. I feel like someone was using my particular pair to cut steel sheets. They don't cut as well as my smaller wire cutters I've had for twelve years. They're relatively comfortable but a little large for my hands. I primarily work with CAT cable. I'm about 5'10.
They are good quality, not too cheap; but won't make you cry if you leave them in a customer's car.
This is a great product, mine work so well and are comfortable to use. Love the Journeyman series.
