Klein Tools D248-8 Diagonal Cutting Pliers — 8″ High-Leverage Short Jaw — Made in the USA by Klein Tools, the American electrician’s brand since 1857. Drop-forged high-carbon steel jaws, induction-hardened cutting edges, and the precision-machined fit and finish electricians and ironworkers actually trust on the job.
Klein Tools has been making American hand tools since founder Mathias Klein forged his first plier in Chicago, IL in 1857. Today the company is family-owned in its 7th generation and operates production at multiple US plants. Each pair of pliers is drop-forged from US steel, induction-hardened, and inspected by American workers.
Built for electrical work, ironworking, telecom, automotive, and serious DIY. The Color Coded grip system identifies tools by hand. Klein-USA stamping on the jaws is the mark of a tool that earns its place on a journeyman’s belt for decades.
