Broad Blade Utility Shear
The Klein Tools 22002 is a hand-operated shear built for cutting rubber, cables, light metal, wire screens, cordage, plastics and rope. Its broad, short jaws deliver powerful cutting action suited to automotive, electrical and general maintenance tasks. The 51 mm cut length handles a variety of material thicknesses. One blade is serrated to prevent slipping during cuts.
Sustained Cutting Behaviour
The extended handle design increases leverage, reducing the hand force required for each cut during repetitive use. Nickel chrome plating protects the blades from corrosion and rusting, maintaining cutting performance over time. The serrated blade edge retains grip on tough or slick materials without needing frequent resharpening. The .6 weight keeps fatigue low during extended sessions.
Material And Safety Limits
The shear is rated for materials up to light metal gauge; it is not intended for heavy gauge steel or hardened alloys. California Proposition 65 warnings indicate the product contains chemicals known to cause cancer and reproductive harm. Users should wear appropriate hand and eye protection when cutting wire or metal screens. The tool is restricted from sale in certain jurisdictions.

Questions about this item
How much does the 22002 shear weigh when I use it all day?
The shear weighs .6 units, making it light enough for extended cutting tasks without causing fatigue.
What materials do I need on hand for the 22002 to cut effectively?
It cuts rubber, cables, light metal, wire mesh, cordage, plastics and rope, so keep those materials ready for the shear.
Will the 22002 shear work with the older nickel-chrome tools already in my kit?
The nickel chrome plating resists corrosion and rusting, so it matches the finish and durability of existing plated hand tools.
