Not bad. I have some NWS tools with Irwin branding, from back when Lowe’s ran their clearance on the stuff. It seems that Irwin decided to do away with their @$40 pliers and cutters to sell similar looking Chinese made ones for half the cost. Anyway, I picked up a number of side cutters, some linesman pliers, and one of the pistol grip needle nose for about $11 per. These Kleins look good and I may pick up a pair if I see them in store somewhere.
