The Klein Tools D213-9NE-CR is a 9-inch Lineman’s plier built on Klein’s high-leverage rivet design — the rivet is set closer to the cutting edge, which gives 46% more cutting power than a standard plier of the same size. The jaws combine flat gripping surfaces, a knurled section for pulling and twisting wire, a side cutter for trimming, and a crimping die for terminals and connectors. One plier, four jobs.
It’s the lineman’s plier an electrician carries when pouch space is tight and the work is varied — service calls, branch-circuit pulls, device terminations, and connector crimps all happen with one tool. The induction-hardened cutting knives hold an edge through thousands of cuts, and the cushion-grip handles cut hand fatigue on long pulls.
Klein Tools has been making hand tools for electricians and tradespeople since 1857, headquartered in Lincolnshire, Illinois. The Journeyman and Standard pliers lines — along with many of Klein’s cushion-grip screwdrivers — are forged and finished in the United States, and clearly marked as such, so you know exactly what you’re buying.
