Overview
The Klein 1010 is a cutting tool with plastic handles, weighing just 6.9 ounces. Klein Tools has a long history in electrical and wire work, and the light weight here fits a hand cutter meant for repeated single handed use.
A 4.8 star average across nearly 2,000 ratings puts this among the highest rated items in the batch, even though monthly purchase volume is comparatively modest at 200 units. That combination suggests a niche but trusted tool rather than a broad, high turnover product.
