These 8-inch long nose side cutter pliers from Klein Tools combine precision gripping with side-cutting capability in one insulated tool. The slim nose design provides access to tight spaces while maintaining the strength needed for wire cutting and gripping tasks. VDE certified and 1000V rated, these pliers meet ASTM F1505 and IEC 60900 standards for electrical work safety.
The unique three-part insulation system includes a white underlayer that serves as a visual warning if the outer insulation becomes compromised. Induction hardened side-cutting knives at the hinge deliver long-lasting performance, while the hot-riveted joint ensures smooth operation without handle wobble. Extended handles provide added reach and use for demanding applications. These pliers are forged in the USA using custom tool steel.
Perfect for electrical contractors working on live circuits up to 1000V, these slim profile pliers excel in panel work, control cabinet installation, and precision wire manipulation. The multi-color design includes small thumb guards for enhanced grip control. A product video is available showing proper use and safety features.
