Cutter is sharp and fish tape puller works well. The textured grip of the pliers holds onto things well. The handles are also very comfortable. The crimper is well designed and makes good crimps. These are too nice to use as a beater, so I can't really say how durable they are. They do get surface rust fairly quickly though and are made in China or Vietnam. Review: Best Lineman Pliers I've Used - Let me start by saying I originally bought Knipex linemans because of the project farm plier video. I loved those but felt they were lacking in a couple areas and I got to where I didn't use them much so I sent them back. I then bought some Klein linemans and those haven't been very good. They don't cut well and their head isn't as wide as I'd like so I almost never use them now. But I still needed a GOOD pair of linemans. Enter these Wiha linemans. Most tradesmen will agree that the more functions a tool has the better (as long as it performs all of the functions well). The reason being it eliminates the need to carry mire tools. These Wiha lineman pliers do just that. They have crimpers which are fantastic and their cutter is wonderful. The handles on these are especially nice in design; they have a slight bulge at the top and bottom which is great because it keeps them from slipping out if my hands and it allows better control of the tool itself since I'm nit worried about it slipping. Lastly, the plier portion on these are second to none in my experience. They are wide so they can grab a good chunk of material and, most importantly, once they grav THEY HOLD. The grip ability of these is seriously amazing. I don't ever worry about slippage on these because of the grip power. Pretty much these things are almost perfect. The only think needed is to keep working theses open and closing them back a lot so that they open and close easier. So, buy these and you'll be glad you did! ## Features - Individually tested to 10,000 volts AC and rated to 1,000 volts AC for safety and peace of mind - Ergonomic cushion grip handles for comfort and control - Handles direct molded to tool steel for permanent bond - Slip guard handle design for added protection - Dual durometer construction ​for long-lasting durability ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Brand | Wiha | | Material | Blend | | Product Dimensions | 1"L x 1"W | | Color | Multi | | Handle Material | Insulated Cushion Grip | | Item Weight | 1.22 Pounds | | Specific Uses For Product | Professional | | Specification Met | ASTM F1505, IEC 60900 | | Grip Type | Ergonomic | | Cutting Width | 2 Inches | | UPC | 084705329482 | | Manufacturer | Wiha | | Part Number | 32948 | | Item Weight | 1.22 pounds | | Item model number | 32948 | | Size | One Size | | Style | Classic | | Finish | Brushed | | Pattern | Solid | | Shape | Rectangular | | Power Source | hand_powered | | Item Package Quantity | 1 | | Included Components | Insulated NE Style Lineman’s Pliers with Crimpers 9.5-inch | | Batteries Included? | No | | Batteries Required? | No | | Warranty Description | Backed by the Wiha No Hassle Guarantee | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Wiha - **Material:** Blend - **Product Dimensions:** 1"L x 1"W - **Color:** Multi - **Handle Material:** Insulated Cushion Grip - **Item Weight:** 1.22 Pounds - **Specific Uses For Product:** Professional - **Specification Met:** ASTM F1505, IEC 60900 - **Grip Type:** Ergonomic - **Cutting Width:** 2 Inches ## Images ![Wiha 32948 Insulated Industrial NE Style Lineman’s Pliers with Crimpers 9.5" - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61Pc8X3GGWL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: How do these compare to the Knipex lineman pliers?** A: They are very comparable.
