With Klein Tools' high-visibility side-cutting pliers, you'll never worry about losing your tools in the dark again. These pliers come with one essential tool in the set. The standout feature is their glow-in-the-dark grips. They can absorb light from both natural and artificial sources, and then stay illuminated for up to 30 minutes, making it a breeze to find your tool in dim or low-light areas. Keep in mind that if charged in low light, the glow time and intensity might vary. Regularly cleaning the grips will help maintain their glow brightness. These pliers are built for tough jobs. They can cut through ACSR, screws, nails, and most hardened wire. Their high-leverage design places the rivet closer to the cutting edge, giving you 46% more cutting and gripping power compared to other plier designs. The cross-hatched knurled jaws offer a secure grip. Specifications include a 9.4-inch (23.9 cm) overall length, made of steel with a New England nose type. The jaws are 1.594 inches (4.1 cm) long, 1.25 inches (3.2 cm) wide, and 0.625 inches (1.6 cm) thick, with a capacity of 1.375 inches (3.5 cm). The knife is 0.781 inches (2 cm) long. It has a locking joint, plastic-dipped glow-in-the-dark handles that are 7.375 inches (18.7 cm) long. It's not insulated and not tether-capable, weighing 1.1 lb (0.5 kg).
Using these Klein Tools side-cutting pliers is straightforward. When you need to cut something like ACSR, screws, nails, or hardened wire, just place the item between the jaws and squeeze the handles. The high-leverage design will give you extra power to make the cut easily. To find the pliers in the dark, make sure the grips are charged by exposing them to natural or artificial light during the day or in well-lit areas. Remember, if you charge them in low light, the glow won't be as strong or last as long. For maintenance, clean the glow-in-the-dark grips regularly with a mild cleaner. This will keep them looking good and ensure they maintain their bright glow. Also, store the pliers in a dry place to prevent rusting. Avoid using the pliers for jobs they're not designed for, as this could damage the tool and reduce its lifespan.
