Klein Tools 23011 Straight Trimmer Forged Steel Blades

Product Description

The KLEIN TOOLS 23011 is a straight-handle trimmer built for general-purpose cutting tasks in trade and industrial environments. It features forged steel blades that deliver a durable cross section for cutting through heavy belting, strapping, and similar materials. The plastic-dipped yellow handle provides a secure grip during extended use. Overall length is 11.25 inches with a blade length of cut (LOC) of 4.75 inches. An adjustable bolt allows tension control so the user can tune blade resistance to the material being cut. Nickel chrome plating on the blades resists corrosion. This trimmer is intended for electricians, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and general tradespeople who need a reliable cutting tool on the job site.

The 23011 is suited for general-purpose applications where heavy-duty shear cutting is required. Common uses include cutting heavy belting, gasket material, insulation, and similar stock. The straight handle style and straight tool configuration make it easy to apply direct cutting leverage without awkward repositioning. At 11.25 inches overall length, it fits standard tool pouches and service bags carried by field technicians across trades.
