Klein Tools 22003 High-leverage Utility Shears 9 Inches

Product Description

The KLEIN TOOLS 22003 is a high-leverage utility shear designed for general-purpose cutting tasks in trade and industrial environments. Built with a forged steel blade finished in nickel chrome plating, these shears resist corrosion and rusting while maintaining sharpness over repeated use. The overall length measures 9 inches, with a 3-inch length of cut. The straight, plastic-dipped handle in yellow provides a firm, comfortable grip during extended cutting sessions. These shears are suited for cutting rubber, light materials, and similar flexible substrates encountered on job sites. The tool weighs 0.65 pounds, making it easy to carry in a tool pouch or bag throughout the workday.

The 22003 is appropriate for general-purpose use across multiple trades, including electrical, HVAC, and plumbing applications where cutting flexible materials such as rubber gaskets, tubing wrap, or insulation is part of routine work. The high-leverage design reduces hand fatigue during repetitive cuts. The straight handle style suits both right- and left-handed users in standard grip positions. These shears are a practical addition to any technician's hand-tool kit where a reliable, compact cutting tool is needed on a regular basis.
