Review: Difícil acreditar que a Klein irá jogar fora toda sua história e tradição na fabricação de ferramentas de qualidade. Comprei esse alicate ano passado, fabricação USA. Pedi uma segunda peça, porém recebi um Made in México. Acabamento pior que um MTX que custa 1/10 do preço. Pior folga na aresta de corte que já vi em um alicate. Se me oferecerem de graça este alicate não vou aceitar. Lastimável.
