My name is Erik and some say I have a problem. But without the right tool, you can't fix a problem. Am I right?

😂 I guess I need to change the name of the channel to Tool Addicts Anonymous.

@@realworldtoolreviews That's a clever channel name! 👍

My name is Jan. Im from denmark. I have a problem 😁

[@EngineersPerspective701]

Got the D2000-48 Kleins a couple months ago and wow. Love them! Great for cutting and prying.

[@realworldtoolreviews]

You really can’t beat them! The blue handled Klein cutters will probably be my go to cutters for life.

[@adamperkins4305]

I recently have been upgrading most of my hand tools. I have really enjoyed your videos. After buying a pair of needle nose and a slip joint pliers, I'm all in on Klein. There are parts of this video I laughed way harder than usual :p

[@realworldtoolreviews]

You can’t go wrong with Klein. Best pliers on the market in my opinion. 😂 I was pretty stoked about getting those. It made me act a little goofy I think. I’m glad you’ve enjoyed my videos man. Thanks for watching!

[@naezro]

Congrats on the new job bro!

[@realworldtoolreviews]

Thanks Nathan!

[@Russell8021]

I just got these linesman pliers and a pair of 8 inch Klein Dykes. I love the new linesman’s they are replacing my Channellock 369’s and I’ll be honest the channellocks cut smoother, more of a buttery feel while the Kliens cut with more of a snap. The Kliens are in my everyday bag.

[@realworldtoolreviews]

One of the guys I work with all the time has the channellock ones. I like them a lot. Nothing beats those red handle Kleins for me though.

[@CreativeIdeasMaker]

It was a good show. Thanks for your tips and explanations.

[@KeystoneOutdoorsman]

I have literally have these tools in my Amazon cart. I am an electrician and a bit of a tool geek. I have used Klein, channellock, and Knipex. I currently use the 3610 Channellock which has been the best cutting pair of pliers ive owned. Only caveat is the seem long for daily use [10.5"] and the handles are thinner and dont form to my hand like Klein, this can be annoying when making alot of splices in a day The Knipex were good for a year. Cut better than the blue dipped kleins i owned but the blades started rolling and eventually chipped. I replaced those with Klein high end blue and black handled with the crimper and fish puller. And the blades were dull. Since day one. They crush rather than cut the wire. But theyve held up great and i beat the tar out of them as a hammer. Knipex had a bunch of marks and pitting on the head whereas the Klein did not. Not knocking Knipex but I feel Klein has better steel. Ive owned 3 pairs of the red handled dikes over 5 years and they either dull out or the blades fail to align right when making a cut. But they just feel right to me so i keep going back to Kleins dikes.

[@realworldtoolreviews]

Well, I haven’t used these new ones except for a little bit today, but I have to say I think those red handled Kleins might be the best of the best. They cut effortlessly. And as far as dikes go, I think the blue 2000 series are pretty tough to beat. I’m excited to see how the longer yellow ones compare.

[@alexwolf9778]

No noise from the tripod, ;-), thanks for another video. Good luck with the shop electrical.

[@realworldtoolreviews]

😂 that’s because I went back to the wooden block one. I am still having trouble with the damn tripod. It’s good for taking thumbnail pictures though. I might just have to use the wooden block one forever lol

[@omegaanimations8549]

My electrician carry is those linemen the blue dykes and yellow needlenose the handles feel amazing can’t go back to normal linemans

[@realworldtoolreviews]

They are so much more comfortable. Those three tools you just listed are tough to beat!

[@erincook6007]

got the yellow handled dykes last December because of this video, I already have 4 other different pairs but these have become my favorite.

[@realworldtoolreviews]

Nice! They are really good. I like the extra length on those for pulling staples and cotter pins. They have been a great pair of cutters for me as well. It’s tough to beat the Klein 2000 series!

[@jasonmcguire5206]

"Bout time you got you some new tools!!! 😆Congrats on the new job

[@realworldtoolreviews]

Thanks man!

[@ricker76er]

I’ve preferred my knipex lineman’s over my Klein D213’s. But I just picked up a pair of HD2000-9NE’s. Can’t wait to give them a shot. Recently I’ve been using a pair of SK lineman’s that I picked up on a steals and deals prior to the sale to china. I like those too.

[@realworldtoolreviews]

I think the SK ones were the same as the USA ideal ones. They are good for sure. I think you will enjoy the Klein 2000 ones. They are the best I’ve ever used.

[@ricker76er]

@@realworldtoolreviews I agree, idea owned SK, and now ideals are made in china, not the us anymore. Sad. I’ve already noticed a lot of improvements on the 2000’s. Loose out of the box and much more aggressive knurling in the jaw.

[@ptstouring49]

Congrats. Klein lineman really are the best. I have had a set of HD213-9NE for 20 plus years and use them the most. Sort of wish they were 2000 series like yours, but they held up to a lot of stuff before I had the right tool and the thicker grip I got used to. I probably have two dozen pair of lineman, but that’s what I use. I have had the yellow 9in bent lineman in my cart for ages. Maybe I will pull the trigger. I just wish they had a thicker grip. I use the 250mm bent Knipex cutters for staple and nail pulling and the Klein glow in the dark 2000 series straight ones for general use. I like the glowies because the handles are double dipped (I think the HD is just thicker and a different material because there are not two visible layers, but I am not sure). I have a full set of glowie pliers (including the bent cutters) but I won’t use them (except the straight cutters) as I want to keep them nice (stupid, I know).

[@realworldtoolreviews]

It’s not that stupid lol. I have tools that I barely use too just because I don’t want to mess them up. I like the glow in the dark handles too. I didn’t know they were double dipped. The yellow cutters definitely would be better if they were double dipped like the linemans.

[@Eddy63]

You had me at Klein ... Lol ... I love all the tools out there and I don't care ... Good vid as usual ...

[@realworldtoolreviews]

Thanks Eddy! I figured you would like this one.

[@gigaphonicon]

I couldn't even imagine not having power in a shop let alone starting a KZbin channel like that. Hopefully wiring goes well can't wait for the next update on that situation.

[@realworldtoolreviews]

Yea it has been a struggle. I’ve had to do some creative lighting with battery powered lights. When I have real lights in there get ready for some cordless lighting reviews lol

[@MrRubenrivera9649]

Klein is one of the best their is I own several pliers and tools from Klein and yes they are very good stuff

[@realworldtoolreviews]

Klein is the gold standard for pliers in my opinion!

[@erik34]

What/where is your new job?

[@realworldtoolreviews]

Stay tuned. I’ll be talking a little bit about the new job in the next couple weeks. Its going to change up the tool setups a lot.

[@chrisampere]

I owned about 19 pairs of Lineman's plier some of them i gave to my friends. I made reviews also.

[@realworldtoolreviews]

I believe I have seen a couple of your videos. Which one is your favorite?

[@Precocktrigger]

I hope the handles don't slip off these.

[@realworldtoolreviews]

I don’t think they will. I’ve never had Klein handles slip off and I have some pretty old ones. I’ve had channel lock handles and many other slip off but the Kleins never do.

[@KingYang05]

Any tips on breaking in your pliers? My Kleins are still pretty stiff.

[@ptstouring49]

Spray a few drops of ballistol in the joints and open and close them while watching tool youtube videos. :-)

[@realworldtoolreviews]

Just put some oil on the rivet and get to work. They usually free up after a couple days of use. If you don’t use them that much, just open and close them while you are watching tv or something. I do that sometimes 😂

[@erik34]

@@shawnwest3779 The lapping compound method is interesting. What is it doing to help in freeing the stiff pliers?

[@illestofdemall13]

I have the ones with the Journeyman blue handles. Super tough linesman and diagonal cutters but my dikes are the heavy duty 9 inch. They have a bigger head and are good for banging in romex staples in tight spots, and prying nails and staples.

[@realworldtoolreviews]

Those heavy duty cutters look badass. I’ve almost bought them so many times. I’m definitely going to buy them one of these days when I’m in the mood to add to the Klein collection lol

[@illestofdemall13]

@@realworldtoolreviews I use them every day. I use them to cut zip ties too. Lol

[@megaman2016]

Why this over the d2000 9necr?

[@realworldtoolreviews]

Do those have the double dipped handles?

[@megaman2016]

@@realworldtoolreviews no but they have the crimper and are hardened. Actually I think I would choose double dipped over crimping too haha

[@realworldtoolreviews]

@@megaman2016 Yea dude those double dipped ones are so much more comfortable. It’s crazy how much better they feel than my regular Kleins now.

[@KeystoneOutdoorsman]

How do you like dikes? Would you recommend for EDC?

[@realworldtoolreviews]

I actually don’t love these dikes as much as I love the lineman’s. The handles are just too long to use every day. They cut great, but I like the 8 inch ones way better. I keep these in my carpentry bag now for prying and cutting finish nails. They were great for that.
