This is the Klein D203-7 — a 7-inch long-nose pliers with a side-cutting blade built into the jaw, from Klein’s Standard USA line. The tapered jaw is narrower than the 8-inch version, which makes it the right tool for fine-wire work, reaching inside a device box, or bending small loops at a terminal.
It’s the smaller long-nose — the one for tight-quarters service work where the 8-inch tool is too long to maneuver. The side-cutting blade at the base of the jaw handles the wire cuts most service work needs without switching tools, and the forged US-made tool steel holds its cutting edge through repeated use.
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.
