Klein Tools D232-8 End Cutting Pliers 8.5 in Hi-leverage

Product Description

The KLEIN TOOLS D232-8 is a hi-leverage end cutting plier designed for professional cutting applications in electrical, construction, and general trade work. Built from drop-forged, hardened, and tempered alloy steel, these pliers deliver reliable cutting force and long service life. The overall length is 8.5 inches, with a jaw length of 0.4375 inches and a jaw width of 0.5 inches. The handle is finished with a plastic-dipped grip for comfort and insulation from minor incidental contact. At 0.8 pounds, they are a practical everyday carry tool for licensed electricians and tradespeople working in the field or on the bench.

The D232-8 end cutting pliers are suited for residential and commercial electrical work, wire cutting tasks, and general cutting applications where a flush or near-flush cut is required. The end-cutting jaw geometry allows access in tight spaces and close-to-surface cuts that standard diagonal cutters cannot reach. These pliers are sold individually and are a standard tool for journeymen and apprentice electricians alike.

Installation Notes

End cutting pliers are a hand tool requiring no installation. Before cutting any wire or cable, verify the circuit is de-energized and locked out in accordance with NFPA 70E safe work practices. Do not use these pliers on live conductors beyond their rated capacity or as a prying tool. Inspect the jaw and handle condition before each use.
