Klein Tools P-406 Cutting Snip Replacement Spring

Product Description

The KLEIN TOOLS P-406 is a metal replacement spring designed for KLEIN TOOLS cutting snips. This spring restores the automatic-open action that keeps blades apart between cuts, reducing hand fatigue during repetitive sheet metal, HVAC duct, or electrical work. It is a direct service part intended to extend the working life of a snip rather than replacing the entire tool. Electricians, HVAC installers, and sheet metal mechanics who maintain their own tools will find this a straightforward, low-cost fix when the original spring loses tension or breaks in the field.

This spring is compatible with left-cut and straight-cut snip models in the KLEIN TOOLS lineup. It is suited for professional trade use in residential and commercial settings where cutting snips see regular service. Keeping a spare P-406 on hand prevents tool downtime when working on ductwork, flashing, cable trays, or other sheet metal applications.

Key Features

• Metal construction for durability under repeated flex cycles
• Fits both left-cut and straight-cut snip models

Installation Notes

Spring replacement on cutting snips is a hand-tool service task typically performed by the tool owner without specialized equipment. Before servicing, ensure the snip blades are fully closed and the tool is secure to prevent contact with cutting edges. Refer to the tool manufacturer's service documentation for proper spring seating and retention to ensure correct blade-open travel after reassembly.
