The Klein Tools 9" Journeyman heavy duty diagonal cutting pliers offer extra long cutting blades with thicker forging designed to increase durability and provide more cutting surface. These pliers feature heavy duty cutting knives designed to cut ACSR, screws, nails and most hardened wire. The angled blade design provides easier access to screw nuts and bolts, and the hot-riveted joint offers smooth action without handle wobble. The handle tempering helps absorb the "snap" when cutting wire.
