Love these diagonal cutters.You can't beat Klein Tools!

I bought the following four wire cutters and compared them:KNIPEX - 74 01 250 SBA Tools - High Leverage Diagonal Cutters (7401250SBA),Crescent 8" Pro Series Diagonal Compound Action Dual Material Cutting Pliers - PS5429C,Klein Tools D2000-49 Pliers, Diagonal Cutting Pliers with Heavy-Duty Cutting Knives, Short Jaws and Dual Material Grips, 9-Inch , Yellow, andOEMTOOLS 22609 8" Mini Bolt Cutters | Cuts 5mm Medium Hard Wire, 4 mm Hard Wire, & 3.6 mm Piano Wire, Plus Bolts, Nails, & Rivets | Highly Portable Mini Bolt Cutters | Chrome Moly Steel, Green.I was surprised to find that they all cut 1/16 inch piano wire with ease and no apparent damage to the cutter edges. I put the Crescent’s on my tool belt because they weigh the least; they have sheet metal handles instead of forged handles. All are comfortable to use. The Crescent and OEMTOOLs have springs that open the cutter and catches for storing the tools with the cutter closed. The Klein was a little stiff but after opening and closing many times, they became easier to use with one hand. My favorite, ignoring weight, is the Knipex because it has the longest handles but really, they all work well.

worked great

I'm a big fan of Klein Tools, have a number of them, and typically give them 5 stars. However, the pair of these pliers I received had a bit of rust on them, which I found odd for a brand new pair of pliers. Hence my 4-star review. Overall, however, I'm glad I have these in my toolbox now. Their long handles allow for better leverage to get into some tight spots that I might not otherwise be able to because my hand won't fit. The soft grip on the handles make them comfortable and easy to use. They feel heavy duty and I was able to cut through heavy-duty plastic packaging, as well as wire and nails, with the similar ease. Nicely done, Klein Tools!
