I razorbladed the yellow handles off and beat on a pair of blue/black handles because I liked the colors better. Expensive but I want what I want.
You're a sick man.

This is true I caused a lot of chest pain when I razorbladed the brand new handles off the pliers in front of about 6 electricians. They just didnt understand and were pained watching it happen. I like blue better than yellow.
I always get a chuckle out of guys when they struggle pulling [steel] fish tape with their hands and/or resort to their Kleinsmen when the reel is right beside them.Kleins, with the dark blue handle. The fish tape puller is fantastic. Ever try to pull a wet/lubed/dirty fish tape with none but your hands?
What can I bring for show and tell hour??You're not permitted to come to the meet and greet anymore.
I agree...by far the best way to pull the fish tape is with the fish tape reel itself.I always get a chuckle out of guys when they struggle pulling [steel] fish tape with their hands and/or resort to their Kleinsmen when the reel is right beside them.

We don't permit the use of fish tapes that are not in their reel.What is a 'reel'?
We don't bother with reels for snakes on construction sites.

I guess I would not last long. :smile:
i use the klein journeyman's series (blue/black handle).
where are you guys getting these new grips i see mentioned? that's my only complaint with them is that the grips will slide off.
I assume you mean RTV silicone rubber or something similar (e.g. silicone-based rubber caulking). Silicone grease does not cure, and would actually make the grips slip off easier in use.I just shoot some silicone inside the grips when they slide off and slip them back on. Wipe off the excess silicone and you're done. I've never had them slide off after that.
Are you sure?They aren't hammers,you know!

I like the kleins with the blue and black handle. I've got a set of yellow and black handles but don't like those as much (not as fashionable). My brother bought me a set of tools from Snap On. He gave me a SnapON pair of linesmans. Those pair of pliers have the hardest jaws on them. They are also significantly heavier than Kleins and are more than twice the cost! The weight is a little irritating to walk around with all day in your pocket.
Why do some of you guys use replacement handles (the ones you boil?)??
I just remembered that I have those Ideal pliers too. I forgot I had them because I never use them. I use these for crimping, though I doubt they are listed for use with any of the crimps I use them for:
