Electricians<\/a> have many different aspects of their day that require multiple tools for each job. Our Klein<\/a> Multi-Purpose Electrician<\/a> Tools Review<\/a> focuses on two of their releases that aim to make these multiple jobs easier by combining actions of separate tools into one. The All-Purpose Electrician<\/a> Scissors and 4-in-1 Electronics TORX Screwdriver.<\/p>\n

Klein Multi-Purpose Electrician Tools Review Overview<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Standing on a ladder is one of the last places you want to be when you realize you need a tool you don\u2019t have with you. Having a single tool<\/a> that can perform multiple functions, and well I might add, can be a valuable asset. Whether it is in your tool belt or tool bag. Keeping weight and bulk to a minimum is always desirable.<\/p>\n

\"Klein<\/a><\/p>\n

The All-Purpose Electrician\u2019s<\/a> Scissors are an upgrade over Klein\u2019s<\/a> previous Electrician\u2019s<\/a> Scissors. More features have been added, including a cable cutting notch and ergonomic handles. They are still the same quality as previously, just upgraded.<\/p>\n

\"Klein<\/a><\/p>\n

The 4-in-1 Electronics TORX Screwdriver is a new addition to the lineup. As the name implies, it has 4 different tamper-proof TORX bits. The tamper-proof part is important because there is nothing lost and everything gained. The tamper-proof part means there is a small pin in the middle of the fastener head. The pin corresponds to a subsequent hole in the tip of the bit. As such, no function is lost by using tamper-proof bits. They work just the same in tamper-proof fasteners and regular TORX fasteners.<\/p>\n

\"Klein<\/a><\/p>\n

Built-in wire strippers on one blade. They are designed for 13 and 23 gauge solid wire. The notch on the other blade is to de-burr electrical boxes.<\/p>\n

\"Klein<\/a><\/p>\n

The notch near the fulcrum is designed for cutting cable up to 14 AWG.<\/p>\n

\"Klein<\/a><\/p>\n

More leverage can be gained by grasping the outside of the handles. This is especially handy when utilizing the cutting notch.<\/p>\n

\"Klein<\/a><\/p>\n

The first half of the blades are serrated. This helps grip material as you cut it.<\/p>\n

\"Klein<\/a><\/p>\n

The wire stripping notches provide clean insulator removal. The high-carbon blades leave a smoothly cut wire end.<\/p>\n

\"Klein<\/a><\/p>\n

The blade with the de-burring notch also has serrations. These aid in gripping the blades while de-burring or stripping wire.<\/p>\n

\"Klein<\/a><\/p>\n

Klein used the same style of handle cover as their other model screwdrivers. Rubber over-molding on top of a formed plastic handle.<\/p>\n\r\n
