Klein Tools' High-Leverage Side-Cutting Pliers with New England Nose deliver 46% more cutting and gripping power than standard designs, thanks to a rivet positioned closer to the cutting edge — built for the demands of pulling wire, cutting cable, and gripping in tight spaces on any job site. Induction hardened cutting knives slice cleanly through #8 AWG copper, aluminium, and other soft metals with precision-machined edges that stay sharp through heavy daily use. Plastic-dipped "Handform" handles reduce fatigue during long pulls, while the hot-riveted joint keeps action smooth with zero handle wobble.
