This is the Klein D201-7CSTA — a 7-inch ironworker’s linesman pliers with a spring-loaded return on the handles, which opens the jaws automatically between cuts and twists. For rebar tying work where the tool goes through hundreds of twist-pull-release cycles in a shift, the spring is the difference between finishing the day and fighting hand cramp through the last pour.
It’s the pliers for form workers, ironworkers, and concrete crews tying tie-wire at mats and columns. The aggressive knurl on the jaw holds 16-gauge tie-wire without slipping through the twist, and the tempered handle with cushion grip keeps the tool comfortable for the full shift.
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.
