This is the Klein 21010-6-SEN — a specialty snip designed for utility linemen and outside-plant technicians working from buckets and climbing gaffs. The serrated blades bite hard cable and aerial wire without slipping, and the rounded nose lets the snip free-fall safely if it’s dropped — a critical design detail for tools carried aloft. A scraper edge and file are built into the handle so the tool also preps a cable end after the cut.
It’s the cutter that goes on the lineman’s belt for service drops, splice work, and any cable job where the operator needs one tool that can cut, strip, and prep without climbing back down for the next piece. Forged and assembled in the U.S. to Klein’s lineman-tool standard.
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.
