This is the Klein J215-8CR — a Journeyman-series multitool pliers that combines a wire stripper (10-18 AWG), terminal crimper, side-cutter, and 8-32/6-32 bolt shearer in a single 8.75-inch plier. It’s built as the belt-tool replacement for three or four separate hand tools, so a service electrician can move through a full strip-crimp-cut sequence without setting down to switch.
It’s the tool for service calls, service-panel work, and residential rough-in where the job calls for multiple wire operations in rapid sequence. The Journeyman dual-material grip gives a non-slip hold under torque, and the shear-style knives handle both stranded and solid conductor cleanly.
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.
