Update.... I dropped them from 6ft onto concrete and the insulation broke off.... stay away if your in the trade..I'm in the electrical field and was looking fir a replacement for my kline, though I'd give these a try, after about 2 weeks of use abd while cutting through 12/4mc the blade chipped out, so disappointed in the durability. Who has time to deal with this crap!
