The 46039 is Klein’s Cable Splicer’s Kit — the pairing of their 1570-3 Cable Splicer’s Knife and 1580-3 Scissors that telecommunications and utility linemen have carried for decades. The splicer’s knife has a hawkbill blade geometry built for stripping jacket and insulation in one controlled pull, without the risk of the tip getting away from you and scoring the conductor beneath.
The 1580-3 Scissors are Klein’s heavy-duty shears — forged steel blades with a serrated edge for cutting cable jacket, wire mesh, and the fibrous packing material inside telecom cabinets. Both tools tuck into the leather-like pouch so they ride on a belt without catching on other gear. This is the kit generations of telecom and utility hands have kept on their belts for cable work in the field.
Klein Tools has been the electrician’s brand of choice since 1857, headquartered in Lincolnshire, Illinois and family-owned into its sixth generation. The 1570-3 knife and 1580-3 scissors in this kit are both manufactured in the U.S. and backed by Klein’s lifetime guarantee against manufacturing defects.
