Over the last six years as a Low voltage tech. The actual type of work I do is instail/ maintain phone/computer networks, fire alarm system and security alarm system and HVAC system. 

 I have collected a rather large bag of tools to do my work and some I have just thrown out because of the how quickly they wore out- those tools were so cheap it wan't worth trying get the money back from. After awhile a co-worker/lead either lent some freindly advice or got tired of my down time told/advise me to go out and get Klein tools as the tools I had broke(really He got tired of down time and tools borrowed).

The extra money spent has been well worth it. I have one pair of klein stripers that have lasted right about five years now and still works quite  well of course something 5 years isn't prefect but the other ones din't last a year
