The Klein Tools D203-8N 8-Inch Needle Nose Side-Cutting Pliers with Stripping are a go-to hand tool for professional electricians and contractors who need precision, reach, and cutting power in a single pair of pliers. The slim head design accesses tight spaces in panels, junction boxes, and conduit bodies where standard pliers won’t fit, while the extended handles deliver the added reach and leverage needed for pulling, bending, and forming wire in deep enclosures. Built heavier than standard needle nose pliers for greater cutting power, the D203-8N also cleanly strips 12 AWG solid wire — reducing the need to swap tools mid-task. Forged in the USA from custom tool steel with induction hardened cutting knives and a hot-riveted joint, these pliers are built to maintain smooth, wobble-free action through years of daily trade use.
