Klein Tools D2000-9NETH Lineman's Pliers, Bolt Thread-Holding

This set includes one pair of Klein's lineman's side-cutting pliers. These pliers have a hinge opening that can hold and clean 5/8-Inch (16 mm) pole line and hardware bolts or threaded rods. They can cut ACSR, screws, nails, and most hardened wire. The high-leverage design, with the rivet closer to the cutting edge, gives 46% more cutting and gripping power compared to other plier designs. The induction-hardened cutting knives ensure a long lifespan. The hot-riveted joint makes the action smooth and eliminates handle wobble. With a streamlined design featuring a rounded nose and cross-hatched knurled jaws for a firm grip, these pliers are built for tough jobs. The unique handle tempering absorbs the shock when cutting wire, and the precision-hardened plier head offers on-the-job durability. The plastic-dipped light blue handles are comfortable to hold and easy to identify. The 'Handform' handles provide full gripping and cutting power. Made from custom US tool steel, these pliers are a great choice for professionals and DIYers alike.

Using these Klein lineman's pliers is straightforward. To hold and clean bolts or threaded rods, simply place them in the hinge opening. For cutting tasks like ACSR, screws, nails, or hardened wire, position the item between the cutting blades and squeeze the handles. When using the pliers, make sure not to apply excessive force beyond their capacity to avoid damage. After each use, wipe the pliers clean with a dry cloth to remove any debris. Store them in a dry place to prevent rusting. Over time, if the cutting blades seem dull, you can have them professionally sharpened to maintain their cutting performance.
