I haven't used them before. I personally use my high leverage lineman's for cutting larger lines and a smaller 6" diagonal for cutting small wires. But thats me everyone has their own preference I find larger cutters difficult to use in confined spaces and on smaller wires.

In my tool bag as we speak. No issues and have held up over the last 3 years. Still cut like new. They have their limits. Cutting wire zip ties and other things like that are fine. Don't try and cut harder metals with these. They are not rated for that. They will probably do it but they will dull. Get the 2000 series if you need them to cut harder metals.

thanks for the advice - what have you used to sharpen them?

Never had to sharpen them because they haven't failed to cut anything ive tried. Honestly I have never sharpened any cutters ever. Just bought new ones when the old wore out.

I have a pair of these "dikes" in my tool pouch and use them on a regular basis..... When I work with the "tools"
Great for pulling staples, cutting wires where my "lineman pliers" won’t fit, cutting zip ties, etc. I say buy a pair if you don’t have them...... I have used Klein tools for over 50 years.
