Klein Tools D213-9NE Pliers – 9-Inch High-Leverage Side Cutters, Made in USA

Overview

The Klein Tools D213-9NE is a 9-inch high-leverage side-cutting plier designed for demanding tasks. A rivet positioned closer to the cutting edge delivers enhanced cutting and gripping power, while induction-hardened knives ensure longer tool life. Built in the United States with six generations of engineering, this tool merges heritage with modern performance.

Why this tool stands out

The design highlights a streamlined head, sure-gripping crosshatched jaws, and a New England nose type that promotes precise alignment. The blue plastic-dipped handles are not just a visual cue of the brand’s identity; they also offer comfortable grip during extended use. This combination of construction and ergonomics aims to provide reliable control in varied tasks.
