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.
