From the Manufacturer

Since 1857, the company operated by mathias klein and his descendants to the fifth generation, has grown and developed along with the telecommunications and electrical industries where klein pliers first found major usages. Today, klein tools Incorporated represents much more than klein pliers. The company's product line has broadened to include virtually every major type of hand tool used in construction, electronics, mining and general industry in addition to the electrical and telecommunications fields. Klein offers a lifetime warranty on material defects and workmanship for the normal life of the product. The klein D228-8-INS is a pair of insulated high-leverage diagonal-cutting pliers. Klein insulated tools exceed the IEC 60900 and ASTM F1505 standards for insulated tools and are clearly marked with the official 1000-Volt rating symbol. These pliers are made of custom US-made tool steel and have two layers of insulation that provide protection from electric shock. These pliers have integral guards that help prevent hand contact with conductive parts. They are individually tested to exceed standards and have a high-leverage design, which means that the rivet is closer to the cutting edge for 36 percent greater cutting power than other plier designs
