Klein Tools 1570-3 Lineman Side Cutting Plier Knife

Product Description

The KLEIN TOOLS 1570-3 is a lineman-style side cutting plier with an integrated knife blade, built for electrical and utility trade work. The tool features a tempered steel blade measuring 3 inches in length with an overall tool length of 8 inches. A molded plastic handle provides grip and insulation separation from the cutting edge, while an enlarged finger guard adds hand protection during heavy use. At 0.35 pounds, this plier-knife combination is a compact addition to a tool pouch for daily field work.

This side cutting plier knife is suited for residential and commercial electrical installation and maintenance tasks. Linemen, electricians, and utility workers use this tool for cutting cable, trimming wire, and general utility cutting in the field. The combination of a cutting plier head and an integrated knife blade reduces the number of tools needed on the job. It is sized for one-hand operation in tight panel enclosures or conduit work.
