This is the Klein 1005 — a forged steel multi-tool that cuts bolts, crimps terminals, and strips wire from a single frame. The jaws are dedicated for each task: crimping dies for insulated and non-insulated terminals, stripping holes sized for common AWG wire, and a cutter that shears small bolts cleanly without deforming the thread.
It’s the tool that goes in the pouch when an electrician wants one piece instead of three — panel work, appliance hookups, low-voltage wiring, and general terminal crimping on commercial or residential jobs. The cushioned handles hold up to repeat use and the hot-riveted joint stays tight over time.
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.
