New
Journeyman™ Pump Pliers from Klein Combine Comfort And Durability |
CHICAGO, IL
– June 2002 – Klein Tools has added the Journeyman™
pump pliers to its premium line of Journeyman comfort-grip tools.
With robust teeth for sure gripping action, the new pliers are
designed for various applications. They feature six machined tongue-and-grooves
for smooth adjustments up to a maximum of 1-3/4".
Like other Journeyman pliers, the pump pliers feature a state-of-the-art,
dual-material handle design, giving the user a better grip without
sacrificing tool strength or durability. The ultra-soft, outer-surface
handle material combines comfort with a firm grip, while the harder,
inner-surface handle material is designed for extra toughness
in harsh work environments.
Other features include induction-hardened jaws for longer tool
life; a tension-loaded joint to reduce handle wobble; a contoured
thumb area for additional comfort and a positive feel; and color-coded
yellow handles for quick tool identification. The new pump pliers
measure 10" nominal size, and carry a lifetime warranty.
The Journeyman line from Klein offers everything a professional
tradesman would expect from a Klein tool, with the addition of
the contoured, cushioned handles. The tool feels more comfortable
in the hand, and the non-slip handle surface allows for the firmer
grip.
In addition to the new 10" pump pliers, Klein offers eight
other styles of Journeyman pliers: 9" side-cutting (regular,
crimping and tape-pulling); 8" diagonal-cutting (straight
and angled-head); heavy-duty long-nose (with or without stripping
hole); and high-leverage cable cutters.
Klein Tools is a leading manufacturer of professional hand tools
and occupational protective equipment. For more information on
