“Linemen are the backbone of America’s infrastructure and we wanted to recognize them with a special tribute pliers in honor of National Linemen Appreciation Day,” Klein says. “160 years ago, my great, great, great grandfather, Mathias Klein, started Klein Tools after a telegraph lineman needed his pliers repaired. Since then, we have been providing linemen with high-quality tools to keep them safe and get the job done. Today, we salute these line heroes and their families for giving their lives to keep our lights on.”
