Mathias repaired the pliers by forging and finishing a new half for the tool and riveting it to the old half. Soon the lineman returned because the other original half of the pliers had broken and needed replacement. Mathias forged and finished the second half of the pliers and riveted it to the other replacement half – creating the first complete Klein pliers. To this day, Klein Tools is proudly owned and managed by the Klein family. Over 160 years of hard work and dedication has earned Klein the reputation of supplying only the finest quality products for users of professional hand tools, Test and Measurement and occupational protective equipment.

  • Spanners and Wrenches
    Spanne rs and Wrench es - the various types open spanners - ring spanners - adjustable - box spanner - socket allen keys - torque wrench - pipe wrench - basin spanner - tips Spanners come in all shapes and sizes, many being developed to deal with a specific job. By far the most important consideration when using a spanner is to ensure that it fits the nut perfectly. Too loose, and it will round the comers of the nut - and slip, often damaging the nut. Spanner and your hand. When purchasing spanners, select good quality tools. The best types are forged from carbon steel or chrome vanadium, if not abused, these will last a lifetime. Open ended - 'C' spanner The open ended spanner is the most common type, and may have a single or double end. The head has its jaws offset by about 15 degrees from the run of the shaft. This is so the spanner can be turned over to engage different flats of a nut when working in confined spaces. Another version, called an obstruction spanner, is designed for use in confined spaces. It has one head set at anything upto 90 degrees to the shaft, and the shaft may have a slight curve. Ring spanner As the name implies, the ring spanner usually has a completely enclosed head, and may have six or 12 flats. A 12 flat spanner engages upon the corners of the nut and can engage both hexagon and square bolts. A six flat spanner is normally shaped to fit against all 6 sides of hexagon nuts, this ensures a very tight fit and can allow considerable force to be applied.

  • I Can Afford Only One Saw Right Now—So Which One Should I Buy, and What the Heck Is Your Hybrid-Cut
    “I Can Afford Only One Saw Right Now—So Which One Should I Buy, and What the Heck is Your Hybrid-Cut all About?” (How Bad Axe Tool Works Creates and Sharpens a Toothline) t’s early Thursday afternoon, and your PowerPoint presentation for the three o’clock meeting is done as it’s ever going to be. You’re surfing the web on your lunch break, sick of the virtual reality grind of Iyour job, and frustrated by those who answer to you or to whom you answer, because these people—coworkers and clients alike—do not share your ethos that excellence is simply not an option. Everywhere, it seems, people beg the question: “Who is John Galt?” They don’t actually say it, because they have no clue to begin with. They just live the question, day in, day out. You glance at your computer again, and shift your keyboard in place with renewed energy as you type out the URL for the website you want to visit. And you think about the project awaiting you for the weekend. You ‘ve been taking your frustrations out on the 4/4 quartersawn cherry and walnut and white oak you have carefully stockpiled at home in the basement workshop you’ve cobbled together over the past several months while developing a pronounced hand tool problem. And your lovely wife—commonly referred to as SWMBO (She Who Must be Obeyed) in Old Tool Galoot parlance—has confronted you about the amount of tools you’ve been snapping up on eBay with money you should have set aside to purchase the next iKea chest of drawers for your five-year-old.
