Klein Tools wins ‘Best Hand Tool Brand’ of 2014

Klein Tools has been named “Best Hand Tool Brand” for 2014 by Tools in Action readers.

Competing against 17 other brands, Klein Tools took 48 percent of the readers’ votes – over 2.5-times more than the next runner up.

In addition, Klein Tools was selected by Tools in Action editors for Hand Tool Brand of the year as well.

Majority of the awards are picked by the editors of Tools in Action and the professional tradespeople they work with to recognize products that they felt really stood out. The awards are given to products that are innovative and overall best in class. There are no entry fees and manufacturers have ‘no say’ in the process.

“Ask any electrician and I can almost guarantee that they have a Klein tool in their bag,” said Dan Maxey, senior editor and co-founder of Tools in Action. “Professionals rely on quality tools for their living, and Klein tools are top notch quality.”

“For 158 years, Klein Tools has been using the highest quality materials, superior workmanship, and U.S. manufacturing for the vast majority of its hand tools to uphold its rigorous standards,” states Greg Palese, vice-president of marketing at Klein Tools. “This award demonstrates that Tools in Action readers and editors know that when you pick up a Klein, it will never let you down.”
