Engineered for exceptional cutting performance, these diagonal cutting pliers from Klein Tools feature induction-hardened cutting knives that ensure durability and longevity. The high-leverage design positions the rivet closer to the cutting edge, providing a remarkable 36% increase in cutting power compared to standard designs, making them ideal for applications requiring both strength and precision. The comfortable plastic-dipped handles not only enhance grip but also aid in easy identification, although it’s important to note that these pliers are not insulated for electrical use. Crafted from custom US-made tool steel, they showcase a hot-riveted joint that guarantees smooth action and prevents handle wobble, ensuring reliability during every cut. Whether you're a professional tradesperson or a dedicated DIY enthusiast, these pliers are a solid addition to your toolkit.
