Klein Tools D275-5 Full-flush Diagonal Cutter Pliers 5 in

Product Description

The KLEIN TOOLS D275-5 is a 5-inch midget full-flush diagonal cutter designed for electricians, HVAC technicians, and other trade professionals who need precise wire-cutting capability in confined spaces. The full-flush cutting geometry shears wire cleanly at the surface, leaving a flat cut with minimal burr. Rated for wire up to 14 AWG, this compact cutter handles standard branch-circuit and low-voltage wiring alike. The steel hold-open spring reduces hand fatigue during repetitive cuts, and the plastic-covered handles provide grip and insulation from incidental contact. At 1.06 pounds, the tool stays light in hand during extended use.

This cutter is suited for residential and commercial electrical work, panel wiring, low-voltage control wiring, HVAC control boards, and any application where a standard-length diagonal cutter is too large to maneuver. The compact 5-inch head reaches into junction boxes, terminal strips, and tight chassis areas where a full-size tool cannot. Electricians pulling branch circuits, HVAC techs terminating thermostat or control wiring, and panel builders trimming leads will find the compact profile especially useful.

Key Features

• Full-flush cutting face shears wire flush to the surface, reducing wire stubs and sharp protrusions
• Cuts wire up to 14 AWG, covering most branch-circuit and control-wiring applications
• 5-inch midget head fits in tight enclosures, boxes, and chassis where larger cutters cannot reach
• Full-flush design minimizes wire fly-off during cuts, improving safety in the field
• Steel hold-open spring reduces grip fatigue during repetitive cutting tasks
• Plastic-covered handles provide secure grip and protect against incidental contact

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose diagonal cutter for electricians, HVAC technicians, and trade professionals requiring a compact full-flush cutter rated to 14 AWG wire.

Installation Notes

De-energize all circuits before cutting or trimming wire in any electrical panel, junction box, or control enclosure. Follow applicable NEC requirements for conductor sizing and termination. Inspect cutting edges before use and replace the tool if cutting faces are chipped or misaligned. This tool is not rated as insulated PPE for live-line work.
