  1. A good test of lineman pliers is what I used them for when running a welding school toolroom. We cut TIG filler in half before handing it out (consumables are costly so they were rationed) and that meant hundreds of cuts through 3/32 and 1/8 stainless and carbon TIG wire. While individuals could cut by hand no way was I getting carpal tunnel so I tack welded a Klein lineman plier to some plate and clamped that to the bench. I slid some stainless tubing over the other handle for leverage. I used that Klein for months before the contract ended and I moved on. It's still there years later. Lineman pliers kind of suck as pliers but do well as cutters. The models with splice crimpers on the inboard side of the jaws are much handier than the plain style.
