Klein Tools D2000-9NECR Lineman Plier 9.375 Inches

Product Description

The KLEIN TOOLS D2000-9NECR is a high-leverage, hot-riveted lineman plier built for heavy-duty electrical work in the field. Measuring 9.375 inches overall, it features a New England nose with cross-hatched knurled jaws and induction-hardened cutting knives for long service life. The forged steel head is precision machined and tempered, giving the plier durability under repeated use. A crimping die located behind the hinge delivers superior leverage for crimping non-insulated connectors, lugs, and terminals. Licensed electricians and linemen rely on this tool for daily cutting and crimping tasks on commercial and utility job sites.

The D2000-9NECR is designed for electrical trade applications where cutting capacity and crimp reliability are both required at the same tool. It cuts ACSR, screws, nails, and most hardened wire. The high-leverage rivet placement is engineered to be closer to the cutting edge, which produces 36 percent greater cutting power compared to standard plier designs. The plastic-dipped, hand-form handles in royal blue provide grip comfort and quick identification in a tool bag. This plier is sold as a single unit and is appropriate for residential, commercial, and utility electrical installations.

Installation Notes

This plier is a hand tool installed and operated by licensed electricians, journeymen, and linemen working under applicable NEC guidelines. Always de-energize and verify circuits are dead before using cutting jaws near conductors. Inspect the hot-riveted joint and cutting knives for wear before each use. Do not use plastic-dipped handles as a substitute for rated insulated PPE when working on energized systems.
