Klein Tools: The Gold Standard for Professional Tradesmen Since 1857
In 1857, Mathias Klein forged the first half of a pair of pliers for a telegraph lineman in Chicago. When the other half eventually broke, he forged the second, creating the first complete pair of Klein pliers. From that single act of precision craftsmanship, Klein Tools has grown alongside the electrical and telecommunications industries for over 165 years.
Today, Klein Tools is a billion-dollar manufacturer and the #1 preferred hand tool brand in the electrical industry. Operated by the fifth generation of the Klein family, the company remains dedicated to a singular mission: equipping the professional tradesman with tools that are as rugged and hardworking as the people who use them.
