As a sparky, I only really use this tool to cut tie wire. Nothing works better. I know the angled head can be used to pry open nails.

I love the green handles on the Snap-on and the cutting angle. Thanks Doc

For decades I've yet to have issue with my Knipex cutters... one pair each of the 200mm regular; & 250mm notched blade 'Cobolt' version. They both see daily use... with no coddling.

Two different worlds klien is for electricians built to last. I still have a pair of linesman over 25 years old still work I use them daily

Hello again, Doc Thank you for another Great Video 👍 My current cutter is a relatively new Craftsman. It's only been used lightly to date. Cutting cotter keys and safety wire mostly. But I am researching for my next tool purchase. A good cutter is always needed. 👌 Again thank you

I have the Klein J200...they are the best!

Good job love you From Dino Mares Fontana CA

Once my friend showed me how good those long snap on ones are for pulling cotter pins they are my go to for that. I actually have the titans and some other brand and they are not like the snap on. Even long knipex are not as good as the snap on even though they might cut a little better. I carry the Klein crimper/ cutters that are straight for my zip tie and wire cutting and knipex 8in bolt cutters in my bag every day. I don’t work w pins though at work

I'm about to get those Klein's. Home Depot has them for $30, and my military discount knocks them down to $27.

Have all three, the 388 is good for cotter pins. The 312's I have just won't loosen up. Tried leaving the pivot/blades in penetrating oil for 2 months, tried cutting oil, out them on a recip saw, still annoyingly tight.

I just bought the channelock e458.

those are diagonal cutters

The J2000-59 is a diagonal cutter as described by Klein, not a side cutter. A side cutter has cutting jaws parallel to the handles. Diagonal, well, they are diagonal to the pliers handle. 😂

3:30.. yeah.. those Klein are under $20... the SnapOn on are 5-6 times more money..true to SnapOn ☝️

And totally leaves out the HF Icon Snap-On knock off cutter????

I gotta say, for the value, the Klein J2000 for me wins; comfy too

When you have a large selection of tools you end up using the wrong tool

Rather have the snapon not into Klein
