The Klein Tools story is a quintessential American success tale. Founded by German immigrant Matthias Klein, the company began as a humble forge dedicated to crafting unparalleled tools. Klein’s reputation for exceptional workmanship soared after he ingeniously devised a new tool for a linesman in need. Over time, Klein Tools has expanded its focus on quality, evident in its comprehensive warranty and commitment to continuous improvement, exemplified by its revamped line of tape measures, insulated blade screwdriver set, and beloved canvas tool bags.
Since its inception in 1857, Klein Tools, operated by Matthias Klein and his descendants up to the fifth generation, has grown in tandem with the telecommunications and electrical industries, where Klein pliers initially found widespread use. Today, Klein Tools, Inc. transcends its origins as a pliers manufacturer, boasting a diverse product line encompassing virtually every major type of hand tool employed in construction, electronics, mining, and various industries.
