9-Inch High-Leverage Side-Cutting Crimping Pliers
The Klein Tools D213-9NE-CR combines side-cutting blades with a crimping die positioned behind the hinge. This layout gives electricians and technicians a single tool for cutting conductors and compressing non-insulated connectors, lugs and terminals. The high-leverage rivet placement reduces the hand force required for each operation.
Sustained Cutting and Crimping Behaviour
The high-leverage design moves the pivot point closer to the cutting edge, so repeated cuts through wire and repeated crimp cycles demand less grip strength than standard pliers. Cross-hatched knurled jaws maintain a secure hold on connectors throughout the compression stroke, preventing slippage that would otherwise require rework during long wiring sessions.
Connector and Terminal Compatibility Limits
The crimping die is sized for non-insulated connectors, lugs and terminals only; it does not accommodate insulated terminals or open-barrel contacts. The rounded nose profile limits access in extremely tight enclosures where a tapered or angled head would fit. Users needing to crimp insulated splices or work in confined panels will require a different tool.

Questions about this item
How much hand force do the 213 pliers need when I crimp all day?
The high-leverage design places the rivet closer to the cutting edge, so each squeeze delivers more cutting and gripping power with less effort during extended use.
What wire or connectors must I already have to use the crimping die behind the hinge?
The die is sized for non-insulated connectors, lugs and terminals; have those on hand before starting the job.
Will the cross-hatched knurled jaws mark softer copper wire I keep from older jobs?
The rounded nose and sure-gripping jaws hold firmly, but the aggressive knurl can leave impressions on soft conductors.
