These have withstood my heavy abuse as a service electrician. I’ve cut lots of hard materials and thick u-hang/steel wires without any nicks in the blades. The handles are tempered very well to absorb a lot of that snap feedback from cutting wire, which goes a very long way in regards to hand fatigue.

Reviewed in the United States on May 27, 2023

I use these side cutters to pull Romeo staples from lumber framed houses and to cut screws and nails. I’m sure with repeated cutting of hardened screws the cutting performance will deminish but all of the 16d nails I’ve been cutting haven’t hurt their ability to cut fine lighting fixture wires yet. Once they begin to give me issues in that respect, I will buy them again because they really last. Klein makes some awesome tools. Pricy, but you know where your money is going.

I love these. Hard to say whether the journeyman series are worth buying over the standard diagonals. The handles are ergonomic though, and that really goes a long way. I'm pretty hard on them, I've been cutting steel and hardened steel because that's what they claimed to be able to do. They haven't dulled on me yet though and I've been using them for nearly four years. Also these have literally doubled in price on Amazon since I bought them.
