was founded in 1857 by an industrious German immigrant, Mathias Klein, who began in the hand tool business when a broken side-cutting pliers was brought to his forge shop by a telegraph lineman. Mathias repaired the pliers by forging and finishing a new half for the tool and riveting it to the old half. Soon the lineman returned because the original half of the plier had broken and needed replacement. Mathias forged and finished the second half of the pliers and riveted it to the other replacement half -- thus creating the first complete Klein pliers.
鈥淜lein tools are known for their quality and durability,鈥 says product marketing manager Thomas Barton. 鈥淥ur customers are very loyal and some have tools that have been handed down from one generation to another. So, we thought it would be interesting to see exactly how long our pliers soldier on.鈥
