The Klein Tools D248-9ST Diagonal Cutting Pliers is a 9-inch ironworker-specific diagonal cutter that doubles as a rebar bender — the high-leverage design and induction-hardened cutting blades make this the rod-buster’s tool of choice for tie-wire cutting and bending in commercial concrete pours. The aggressive cutting profile handles 16-gauge tie wire all day without dulling.
Use it as the primary rod-buster’s plier on commercial concrete crews, a rebar tie-and-cut plier for residential foundation work, an industrial wire-cutting plier for ACSR and hardened wire, an ironworker’s daily-carry tool, and any application where the dual-purpose cut-and-bend functionality matters. Forged single-piece steel construction with the brand’s high-leverage rivet placement.
Klein Tools has been making American-forged hand tools in Lincolnshire, Illinois since 1857 — over 165 years of continuous Klein-family ownership. Klein Tools’ USA-made line carries the company’s lifetime warranty against defects in material and workmanship.
