The Klein Tools D2000-9NE is a 9-inch high-leverage lineman's side-cutting pliers for heavy-duty cutting. It is made for electricians and linemen. The 2000 Series blades cut ACSR, screws, nails and most hardened wire.
The cutting knives are induction-hardened to keep their sharpness. The rivet sits closer to the cutting edge, which gives up to 46% greater cutting and gripping power than conventional pliers. The handles are tempered to absorb the snap when cutting wire, which reduces hand fatigue during repeated use. A hot-riveted joint keeps the action smooth and eliminates handle wobble.
The nose is New England style. It is suited to holding and cleaning 5/8" (16 mm) pole line and hardware bolts or threaded rods. The handles are plastic-dipped for a comfortable grip and easy tool identification. The pliers are made in the USA from custom tool steel.
