Overview
Not a combination plier or a set, this Klein tool is a dedicated diagonal cutter with an angled head, made for cutting jobs. The head is made from custom US tool steel and the handles are dipped in red plastic for grip.
A tool steel head, a power grip and a dipped handle suit repeated cutting. The listing names the weight as a very small figure and the included components only as tools and accessories, so details are thin.
Who it's for
Cutting wire and small stock close to the work in tight spots suits this angled head. Those who want a combination tool for gripping and twisting should look at a lineman style plier.
Pros and cons
- Angled head for tight cuts
- US-made tool steel
- Power grip design
- One year manufacturer warranty
- Wire capacity not listed
- Weight entry looks very low
- Included items listed vaguely
- Cutting only, no gripping
Performance notes
Cutting force depends on the head geometry, handle leverage and the hardness of the tool steel, which the listing names only as custom. The angled head puts the cutting edge right up against the work. The dipped handle gives grip but is not rated for electrical insulation in this listing.
