The Klein Tools J248-8 Pliers is an 8-inch journeyman-grade diagonal cutting plier with an angled head and short jaws — the angled head reaches cutting points the straight-head pliers can’t get to, and the short jaw concentrates force closer to the pivot for cleaner cuts on hardened wire. The High-Leverage rivet design adds 46 percent more cutting force than standard pliers.
Use it as a fixture-installation diagonal cutter where corner-cuts matter, a panel-wiring plier for tight residential and commercial work, an automotive wiring plier for tight engine bay cuts, a service-call truck plier where bag space matters, and any application where the angled-head plus short-jaw geometry beats the straight-head versions. Journeyman dual-material handles for long-shift comfort.
Klein Tools has been making American-forged hand tools in Lincolnshire, Illinois since 1857 — over 165 years of continuous Klein-family ownership. Klein Tools’ USA-made line carries the company’s lifetime warranty against defects in material and workmanship.
