Klein Tools D201-7CST Ironworker Side Cutting Pliers 7 in

Product Description

The KLEIN TOOLS D201-7CST is a pair of ironworker side cutting pliers built for twisting and cutting soft annealed rebar tie wire on structural job sites. At 7 inches in overall length, these pliers feature a hook-bend handle design with a spring-loaded self-opening mechanism, reducing hand fatigue during repetitive tying operations. The heavy-duty knurled jaws provide a secure grip on tie wire, allowing the user to twist and snip without slipping. Weighing 0.75 pounds, the tool is balanced for all-day carry and use. Electricians, ironworkers, and construction trades rely on this style of plier for rebar assembly, concrete form tying, and general wire work where a conventional plier would fall short.

The D201-7CST is suited for residential and commercial construction applications where soft annealed rebar tie wire is the primary material. Typical install scenarios include concrete slab reinforcement, column cage assembly, and wall panel rebar tying. The self-opening spring action is particularly valuable in cold-weather conditions or when working with heavy gloves, where manually opening standard pliers adds cumulative strain over a long shift. The dark blue handles provide visual contrast against rebar and concrete surfaces, reducing the chance of misplacing the tool on an active pour deck.
