Description
The Klein Tools D2000-8 is a 8 in heavy-duty side-cutting lineman's pliers from the 2000 series. The manufacturer states that the knives cut ACSR, screws, nails and most hardened wire, and that the high-leverage design gives 46% more cutting and gripping power than other plier designs.
Features include induction-hardened cutting knives, a hot-riveted joint, cross-hatched knurled jaws, a precision-hardened head and a combination polished and black-oxide finish. Plastic-dipped light blue handles. Forged in the USA. Not insulated: the plastic-dipped handles are not intended to protect against electrical shock (per the manufacturer). Sold as a single tool.
