The Klein Tools 2038RINS is an 8-inch insulated long-nose side-cutting plier rated to 1000V — the standard for electricians working on energized circuits. The insulation covers the handles and most of the plier body, leaving only the precision tip exposed for actual contact with the work.
Right plier for licensed electricians working hot, lineman work where re-energizing isn’t an option, and any task where 1000V protection is required by code. The induction-hardened cutting knives stay sharp through repeated copper, aluminum, and small-wire work.
Klein Tools has been forging electrician pliers in the USA since 1857. The Made-in-USA line is the brand’s flagship — used by union electricians, ironworkers, and tradesmen across the country, with induction-hardened cutting edges and high-leverage forged construction.
