The company, founded by Mathias Klein in 1857 to make pliers, sells its products through distributors worldwide. Klein tools can be found in the tool pouches of professionals in the construction, electronics, mining, telecommunications, and general industries. (Klein makes the pouches, too.) Products include bolt cutters, cable cutters, chisels, drill bits, hammers, screwdrivers, sheet metal cutters, wire strippers, and wrenches. Klein also sells occupational protective gear. The Klein family owns the company.
