7-inch Diagonal Cutting Plier
The Klein Tools 72034 is a 7-inch diagonal cutting plier designed for trimming injection mold sprues, gates, and other plastic components. Its flush, diagonal knives meet at the tip and along at least half the knife length for clean cuts in confined areas. The coil spring holds the jaws open automatically, reducing hand fatigue during repetitive tasks. Drop-forged alloy steel construction ensures durability for professional use.
Drop-forged alloy steel with screw adjustment
The plier halves are matched side to side and jaw to jaw, then hot riveted for precise alignment. Precision-machined mating surfaces maintain extremely close tolerances during operation. A 1/16" hollow-head adjustment screw prevents the cutting edges from damaging each other when closed. Plastic-dipped handles provide a secure grip without adding significant bulk to a tool bag.
1-inch jaw length with flush cutting profile
The 1-inch jaw length and 31/32-inch jaw width suit small-gauge plastic trimming and fine wire work where flush cuts are required. The straight jaw shape reaches into tight mold cavities without obstruction. At 0.61 lb, the tool remains light enough for extended use but lacks the leverage for heavy-gauge steel wire or large cable cutting. Users needing greater cutting capacity or insulated handles should consider other models.
