Highly recommended! ### ⭐ Péssimo acabamento. *by M***T on 2 March 2024* Difícil acreditar que a Klein irá jogar fora toda sua história e tradição na fabricação de ferramentas de qualidade. Comprei esse alicate ano passado, fabricação USA. Pedi uma segunda peça, porém recebi um Made in México. Acabamento pior que um MTX que custa 1/10 do preço. Pior folga na aresta de corte que já vi em um alicate. Se me oferecerem de graça este alicate não vou aceitar. Lastimável. ## Frequently Bought Together - Klein Tools 12098 High Leverage Universal Lineman Combination Pliers with Crimping Die, Toothed Pipe Grip, Induction Hardened Knives, 8-Inch - Klein Tools 11055 Wire Cutter and Stripper, Made in USA, Stranded and Solid Wire Cutter, Cuts Copper - Klein Tools 32500 11-in-1 Screwdriver / Nut Driver Set, 8 Bits (Phillips, Slotted, Torx, Square), 3 Nut Driver Sizes, Cushion Grip Handle --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vn/products/334987530-klein-tools-12098-high-leverage-universal-lineman-combination-pliers-crimping](https://www.desertcart.vn/products/334987530-klein-tools-12098-high-leverage-universal-lineman-combination-pliers-crimping) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vietnam* *Store origin: VN* *Last updated: 2026-08-20*
