Klein Tools D213-9NE-CR Side Cutting Pliers 9.25 in

Product Description

The KLEIN TOOLS D213-9NE-CR is a high-leverage side cutting plier built for electricians and linemen who need dependable cutting and crimping performance in a single hand tool. Measuring 9.25 inches in overall length, it incorporates a crimping die positioned behind the hinge joint to take advantage of maximum mechanical leverage. That placement allows the tool to crimp non-insulated connectors, lugs, and terminals with less hand effort than standard pliers. At 1.15 pounds, it is heavy enough to feel solid during use without causing fatigue on extended jobs. This is a professional-grade hand tool intended for daily field and shop use.

The D213-9NE-CR is suited for residential and commercial electrical work where installers regularly terminate non-insulated ring terminals, spade lugs, butt connectors, and similar uninsulated compression connectors. It is equally useful on service panels, conduit work, and low-voltage terminations where a dedicated crimping tool is not always at hand. The jaw opening measures 0.625 inches and the jaw width is 1.25 inches, giving adequate clearance for common wire gauge ranges encountered in electrical trade work.

Key Features

• Crimping die located behind the hinge for high-leverage crimping of non-insulated connectors, lugs, and terminals
• Overall length of 9.25 inches provides extended reach and leverage compared to compact plier formats
• Jaw opening of 0.625 inches accommodates common connector sizes without additional adjustment
• Jaw width of 1.25 inches supports stable grip during cutting and crimping operations
• Single-tool design handles side cutting and connector crimping, reducing the number of tools carried on the job
• Weight of 1.15 pounds balances durability with manageable hand fatigue during extended use

Compatibility

Designed for crimping non-insulated connectors, lugs, and terminals in standard electrical trade applications. No specific system or model compatibility data was provided by the manufacturer for this SKU.

Installation Notes

This tool is installed and used by licensed electricians and general tradespeople. Always de-energize circuits and follow applicable NEC lockout-tagout procedures before working on any termination. Inspect the crimping die and cutting edges for wear or damage before each use, and replace the tool if the die shows deformation. Do not use the tool on insulated connectors, as the die geometry is sized for non-insulated fittings only.
