This is the Klein D275-5 — a 5-inch diagonal flush cutter with a small precision jaw sized for electronics work, soft copper, and fine wire. Flush means the cut is even with the surface of the workpiece rather than leaving a protruding stub, which matters when cutting component leads on a PCB or trimming wire at a terminal block where the stub would interfere with the housing.
It’s the tool for benchwork: electronics assembly, fine-wire jewelry work, and any application where the cutter needs to reach into a tight space and leave a clean surface. The induction-hardened cutting edges hold up to repeated use on soft copper and brass without rolling the edge.
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.
