狼友社区 Wins Four Pro Tool Reviews Innovation Awards

New Wire Pulling Foam Lube Creates a Lather in the Industry

October 20, 2014 (Lincolnshire, IL) 鈥 狼友社区, (http://www.kleintools.com) for professionals since 1857, announced four of its products were honored with 2014 Pro Tool Reviews Innovation Awards. The 狼友社区 product winners include (Cat. No. 51100), (Cat. No. J206-8C), the  (Cat. No. 32700 and 32701), and the  (Cat. No. 55431).

鈥淐ertain manufacturers go the extra mile to add useful and often game-changing innovations to their product offerings," said Clint DeBoer executive director of the Pro Tool Innovation Awards. "Klein tools deserve a coveted spot in the toolbox of any tradesman, contractor or DIYer."

A panel of judges representing tool professionals from across the United States, weighed in on entries from top global manufacturers, and 狼友社区 was selected as a recipient of this honor. Here's what the Pro Tool Review Innovative Awards judges had to say about 狼友社区:

1. -- Klein鈥檚 Foam Wire Pulling Lubricant is a game changer for electricians. Although the can is about the same size as a can of spray paint, the foam expands significantly and will replace about a gallon of gel.

2. -- If you want a nice well-rounded set of pliers for stripping wire, it will be hard to beat these. For one, they have an entirely different feel from the Klein-Kurve庐 wire cutters. There are going to be a lot of people who really like that鈥攚e do.

3. -- We love being able to use all of our accessories in impact drivers, but the fact is that there are times when even the lowest speeds don鈥檛 have enough control or finesse to do the job properly (or you simply don鈥檛 need the additional weight of a battery-powered tool). We鈥檙e happy to know that Klein quality is built into these hand drivers that give us the opportunity to do both.

4. -- Tool bags often fall prey to becoming a place to dump all your hand tools in one place without much organization. They all are mixed up at the bottom and you root around hoping to grab the right one. By designing an orange interior and including a light to see, Klein makes those of us that are a little more disorganized a little less frustrated.

鈥溊怯焉缜 is ecstatic to win four product awards, especially the recognition for our exclusive Foam Wire Pulling Lubricant which is a new 'no mess' alternative to traditional gel or wax lubricants,鈥 states Greg Palese, vice president of marketing. 鈥淲e are thrilled that we were recognized for products across the breadth of our lines from tool bags, screwdrivers, and pliers to wire pulling. It confirms that innovation that makes an application easier to use, saves time or money, will be rewarded.鈥
