This is my third Klein's in my short life of 62. I bought my first when i was like 17 years old. They last and last and none wore out; were stolen
So i have decided after the years that my hand tools are staying in a back pack in my house. Never lend them out. This one should last till i can't use it any more. These are tough tools that just don't wear out. And that means you can use them day in and day out and not wear them out. I highly recommend paying a bit more for the insulated molded handles and be safe. you never know when a circuit is hot. Enjoy life and may God bless you all.
