    Good clampmeter?

    I learned on the Klein website that Klein bought into UEI and I have had good luck with UEI for a low priced meter. What I don't like is the slow display. With a Fluke or Fieldpiece or Amprobe it reads a lot faster. I am on a roof in the rain and the last thing I want to do is go back down that...

    Sears Website Fail

    I worked for Sears 3 different times and I always went the extra mile to take care of the customer but that is the most messed up company I have ever seen. People that used to serve in the armed forces would come to work there and fit right in. They would say Oh this is just like the military...

    Best brand?

    I just found 3 pair of New old stock Crescent (same as xcelite) long nose pliers 6 inch for $6.00 a pair and I bought all 3. I also like Klein even at $26.00 a pair they are worth the money. I do commercial Hvac and they get used constantly in the rain and klein holds up to abuse. Knipex for...
