Some years ago, Milwaukee entered the electrical field with a splash. One of their original contributions was a multi-purpose plier:

Now Klein has introduced a direct competitor, the J206-8C:

A quite different take on the tool is the one taken by Rack-A-Tiers: http://www.rack-a-tiers.com/assets/uploads/products/thumbs/6fbb84253cdc9adfcc3d261a1e41c409.png I'd sure like to hear thoughts about the Croc's from those of you who do residential work.

Now, I'm interested in comparisons. Not just between these two, but also other tools, like these http://www.idealindustries.com/media/img/products/tools_totes/product/reflex_super_t-stripper.jpg (for stripping wire) and these http://www.kleintools.com/sites/all/product_assets/resized/250x250/klein/d333-8.jpg (for working with conduit). For that matter, are either of these a decent substitute for needle-nose / long-nose pliers?

I certainly have my opinions, which I'll share in a day or two. Until then, I'd be interested in hearing what you think of these tools.
