Lineman’s Side-Cutting Pliers with 9-Inch High-Leverage Jaws and Journeyman Grips – Klein Tools J213-9NE
Lineman’s side-cutting pliers combine firm gripping jaws with high-leverage cutting action for suitable wire, pull line and mule tape. Klein Tools J213-9NE uses a nine-inch streamlined profile documented to deliver 46 percent greater cutting and gripping power than other plier designs.
A hot-riveted joint supports smooth movement without handle wobble, while precision-machined knives cut cleanly on fine stranded wire. Cross-hatched knurled jaws improve hold, and induction-hardened tool-steel heads and knives support jobsite durability. Dual-material Journeyman handles improve grip and help absorb the snap felt during cutting. Disconnect circuits and use rated protective equipment for electrical work.
