This is the Klein D213-9ST — a 9-inch high-leverage ironworker’s pliers with a spring-return between the handles, which opens the jaws automatically on every release. For a rebar tier running through hundreds of twist cycles in a shift, the spring is the difference between the hand working and the hand cramping by the last pour.
It’s the pliers for ironworkers, form crews, and concrete-mat pouring where the tying pace matters. The heavy-duty jaws cut soft-annealed tie-wire cleanly, the hook-bend handle shape fits the natural closing arc of the hand rather than forcing a flat grip, and the machined-knurled gripping surface holds the tie-wire firmly through the twist without slipping out.
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.
