Built from custom US-made tool steel, these Klein Tools high-leverage side-cutting pliers feature a precision hardened plier head and induction hardened cutting knives for long-lasting on-the-job toughness. The rivet is positioned closer to the cutting edge, delivering 46% greater cutting and gripping power compared to standard pliers, while the hot riveted joint ensures smooth action and eliminates handle wobble.
Insulated plastic-dipped handles provide comfort, ease of identification, and unique handle tempering that absorbs the snap when cutting wire. Cross-hatched knurled jaws offer a sure grip, and the connector crimping capability makes these pliers ideal for electricians and MRO professionals tackling demanding wiring and termination tasks.
