High-Leverage Diagonal Cutting Pliers with Angled Head and Short Jaws – Klein Tools D248-8 8-Inch
High-Leverage Diagonal Cutting Pliers with Angled Head and Short Jaws – Klein Tools D248-8 8-Inch
High-leverage diagonal cutting pliers use an angled head and short jaws to cut compatible nonferrous wire and soft metal close to a surface. Klein Tools D248-8 places the hot-riveted joint nearer the cutting edge to provide 36 percent greater cutting power than conventional plier designs.
Induction-hardened beveled cutting knives stay sharp through repeated work, while the smooth joint resists handle wobble. The eight-inch tool uses custom steel and red plastic-dipped handles for comfort and identification. A separate D238-8 eight-inch selection is listed and may differ in design.
