Bent trimmer for light-to-medium cutting
These 8-inch bent trimmers are built for light to medium-duty tasks across automotive, electrical and general maintenance work. The angled blades keep the hand clear of the workpiece while cutting plastic, rubber, vinyl, cording, tar paper and fibreglass insulation. Forged steel construction with nickel-chrome plating resists corrosion during repeated use. The extended handle design increases leverage and reduces hand fatigue on longer jobs.
Extended handle adds leverage and comfort
The longer handle moves the pivot point further from the grip, giving more mechanical advantage without extra effort. This makes it easier to shear through tougher sheet materials such as rubber roofing or heavy vinyl. Nickel-chrome plating on the forged steel blades protects against rust when the tool is stored in damp environments. No additional accessories or software are included with the scissors.
Handles common sheet materials up to moderate
The shears cleanly cut plastic, rubber, tar paper, cording, vinyl, fibreglass insulation and cloth in everyday thicknesses. They are not intended for heavy-gauge metal, thick multi-layer composites or continuous high-volume production cutting. Users needing to sever steel strapping, hardened wire or thick rubber matting should select a dedicated shear or powered cutter. California Proposition 65 warnings apply to this product.

Questions about this item
Do the blades on the Klein Tools 23008 bent trimmers need periodic sharpening or replacement?
The forged steel shear blades are designed for repeated use on plastic, rubber, vinyl and fiberglass; they can be resharpened when they dull rather than replaced.
What is the first limit you hit when cutting heavy material all day with these 8-inch scissors?
Hand fatigue from the 0.55 lb weight and the leverage needed for thick rubber or roofing material typically stops you before the forged steel shear does.
Do the Klein Tools 23008 scissors get hot or tiring to grip during continuous cutting?
Nickel chrome plating on the forged steel handles resists corrosion but conducts ambient heat; the extended handle design spreads force to reduce hand strain during long sessions.
