Flush Cutters - Defective New Klein vs. Harbor Freight
I’m not a pro but I’ve collected a few Klein tools. I have nothing bad to say about the brand. I’ve had some defective Klein tools and returned forever or swapped them. The flush cutters did not make the cut, and I’m sticking with the $4 cutters from Harbor Freight for now. Seems I got a bad pair and it sent my defective tool anxiety through the roof.

    Have bought a pair of those LA-5's from goodwill over the last 2 years. One cost 5.99 and the other was 7.99. They aren't terrible little amps for what they are either, especially since you can literally grab one and take it anywhere

I'm not all that good at this either. Sometimes I screw up a couple connectors before l get a non-shorted connector. Lemme tell ya, "Gettin' old ain't for sissies"!
