Klein Tools D213-9NE-INS Insulated Side Cutting Pliers 9 in

Product Description

The KLEIN TOOLS D213-9NE-INS is a 9-inch high-leverage insulated side cutting plier designed for electrical work requiring both cutting and crimping capability. The crimping die is positioned behind the hinge, which gives the tool superior mechanical advantage when crimping non-insulated connectors, lugs, and terminals. The rivet placement is optimized closer to the cutting edge, delivering 46% greater cutting and gripping power compared to standard plier designs. The insulated handles make this tool appropriate for electricians working in environments where incidental contact with energized conductors is a risk. Licensed electricians and experienced electrical tradespeople are the primary users.

This plier is suited for residential and commercial electrical installation and maintenance tasks. It handles conductor termination work where non-insulated connectors, lugs, and ring terminals need to be crimped without a separate crimping tool. The combination of cutting and crimping in one tool makes it practical on panel work, conduit runs, and service equipment where carrying multiple tools is inconvenient. It is sold individually.

Key Features

• Crimping die positioned behind the hinge for high-leverage crimping of non-insulated connectors, lugs, and terminals
• Rivet placement near the cutting edge delivers 46% greater cutting and gripping power than standard plier designs
• 9-inch overall length provides extended reach and leverage
• Insulated handles for electrical work safety
• Combines side cutting and connector crimping in a single hand tool

Compatibility

Designed for crimping non-insulated connectors, lugs, and terminals in standard electrical installation and service applications.

Installation Notes

This tool is intended for use by qualified electricians familiar with NEC requirements and proper conductor termination procedures. Always de-energize and lock out circuits before cutting or terminating conductors. Inspect the insulated handles before each use and do not use the tool if the insulation is damaged, cracked, or compromised. Confirm that connectors and terminals being crimped are compatible with the conductors being terminated.
