Master Electrician with over 10 years experience.You won't want to forget these anywhere. Top quality tool. I think the handles could be a bit longer.

These 1000V tools from Fluke are top quality. I have purchased a few from other manufacturer’s in the past and not always liked the ergonomics and feel of them. I do appreciate the opportunity to test these from Fluke because I have found them to be great to work with.Most high voltage insulated handles have the large guards at the transition end to prevent accidental metal contact. These are better designed IMO because I don’t feel like they are constantly getting in the way. Whether I am putting the tool away into the toolbox, into a pants pocket or tool belt they don’t make me dislike them as I sometimes have with others. Likewise when taking the tool out the knuckles aren’t grabbing onto other tools and pulling them out too.The handles are made of a very nice insulator. They are grippy, secure and slightly softening. With or without gloves I find I can use them with good dexterity. If they do get soiled with oil, grease or dirt you can wipe them off with a little soapy water and they clean right up. Do make sure you keep the metal parts oiled. They will rust easily if not. They come from the factory with a good amount of hinge oil but I would coat the entire metal area with a good quality oil. There is noting worse than going to your high dollar tool box to find that a little rain from the night before has wrecked everything because the truck cover leaked.These are smooth acting. I took them and opened and closed them about 20 times while exerting sidewinders and outer forces to loosen them up. As I did so I could feel the slight catch points near full open loosening up and finally disappearing altogether. Now they are silky smooth.If there is one minor thing that I would add to these is an end of the handle identifier. As all the tools in this line have the same looking handles it can be hard to tell what is what just by looking down at the handle tips. Kind of like marking screwdriver ends, have these handles marked would be a great selling feature for Fluke. This is nothing that a Sharpie can’t take care of, but you do have to keep remarking it over time and it doesn’t look as cool as a factory molded mark could look. Other than that minor wish list item I really can’t think of anything I don’t like about them. Made in Germany. High quality. High precision. Reasonable priced. A good value. 5 stars.

I am not a professional electrician, but I always have an electrical project or two underway. I have been using these for a month or so, and have been impressed. When I am working with Romex, if I could only have one tool, it would be a set of Lineman's pliers, and these are about the best I have ever owned=== The Good Stuff ===* The second I picked these up, I liked the way they fit in my hand. They were easy to grip, and open and closed with just the right amount of leverage. They are a little smaller than some other versions that I own, but with the exception of a few specific tasks, I prefer the smaller and easier to use size. My hands are less sore after a day of using these than other, larger versions.* They have a good grip and have no problem either grabbing and pulling a wire, or as an aid it making a pigtail.* The cutters are sharp, and easy enough to use than I don't find myself reaching for the diagonal cutters that often.* My second favorite pair of lineman's pliers is a Kobalt tool. It has some nice features to it, but the Fluke version is much more comfortable to use, at least for me. Since I have this tool in my hand more than most any other, that is worth the higher price, at least in my book.=== The Not-So-Good Stuff ===* Depending on what you do, this might not be the only pair of lineman's pliers you will need. I wouldn't want to deal with anything much over 12AWG, and they are just a bit small to really work well with heavier gauges.=== Summary ===Every once in a while you pick up a tool that just feels right in your hand. This was one of them. It has become my go-to tool for just about all of my house wiring.I reviewed three Fluke tools in this line, longnose pliers, lineman pliers, and diagonal cutters. The tools are very similar, and these are my general thoughts on all three tools.=== The Good Stuff ===* They are German-made, and they look it. Everything lines up with no blemishes for finishing marks, all the edges are smooth, and the tools are somewhat heavier than you might expect.* The grips have a great feel to them- a very slight amount of give, but a sure feel to them and easy to grasp, even with damp hands. The orange and red grips are visible from quite a distance.* The tools are well balanced, and just feel right in your hand. I own multiple versions of each of these types of tools, and within a few weeks, all of the others had disappeared from my toolbag.=== The Not-So-Good Stuff ===* All three tools are roughly the same length, and have identical handles. While there may be some advantages to consistency, it is just about impossible to discriminate them in a tool bag. I finally ended up using colored tape on the handles to make it easier…not a great solution.* If I were more style conscious, the color/advertising/text on the handles might bother me. It doesn’t.
