Klein Tools J203-8 8-Inch Needle Nose Pliers, Heavy Duty Cutting, Extended Handles, High Leverage, Induction Hardened with Hot-Riveted Joint

i found my first pair of these on the side of the road when i pulled over my motorcycle to adjust something 15 years ago. must have fell off a lineman's truck or something. One of the nicest tools i had even though they bounced hitting the ground. quality stuff. the insulation finally started breaking down so i bought me a brand new pair. Lets just say i like nice things. this is a nice thing.

Just fantastic. Best handling, most rugged, ergonomic needle nose ever used.Unbelievably, Craftsman is my second pick - who woulda thought.But these Kleins are my favorite and just fantastic.

I work an industrial job and good tools make all the difference. These needle nose pliers are very good! Thick metal and excellent build quality. They will last me many years!

Good brand. Open and close smoothly.

These Klein J203-8N long nose pliers are the ones I’ve used for many years and still carry them in my tool bucket every day. The one thing I really like about these pliers over the standard Klein long nose pliers is the #12 stripping notch in the center of the cutter. I first good use I found for it years ago was for cleanly stripping the rubber insulation off knob & tube wires without nicking the conductors or unravelling the woven outer covering. I also found it that it worked great on old BX wire for the same reasons. No nicking of the conductors or cracking the rubber insulation or unravelling the woven outer covering. The stripping notch also works great for #12 THHN solid and stranded wire that I seem to work with all the time. I do wish that Klein would make a Journeyman 2000 series version of these with the hardened cutters, so they could handle some heavier cutting tasks, but other than that, I really like the overall design of these pliers and will continue to use them on a daily basis.

This is my first foray into Klein products. I've had 4 prior pairs of needle nose pliers, and these by far are the best quality of all of them. Smooth action, really well balanced, easy grips, good heft to them, but not heavy...these are the pliers you've been hoping for.Really happy with my purchase...these will be in my toolbox/tool belt from now on.

Its a Klein, the go to tool for electricians. Have yet to find another brand that works as well and feels as good in the hand, and outstanding warranty

Heavy and strong plier.But I've had it for less than a year and most of it is covered in rust.I also use much cheaper tools and they didn't rust this quickly..
