Product identity

The Klein Tools D248-9ST is a 9-inch high-leverage diagonal cutting plier built from custom US-made tool steel. Its rivet sits closer to the cutting edge to deliver 36% greater cutting power than standard plier designs. Induction-hardened knives and a hot-riveted joint provide long life and smooth action without handle wobble. Plastic-dipped handles add comfort and quick visual identification.

Suitable users and limits

This tool suits electricians and tradespeople cutting soft annealed rebar tie wire where maximum leverage and close cutting matter. The short jaws and bevelled edges allow flush cuts in tight spaces. Buyers who need a heavier all-purpose plier with a tapered nose for confined areas should consider the alternative D228 model. Those requiring insulated handles for live electrical work must select a different product.

Deciding specification

The high-leverage rivet position that yields 36% more cutting power is the single specification that determines whether this plier matches the job. It directly governs the force needed to cut tie wire repeatedly. If the application demands that extra leverage, the D248-9ST is the correct choice; if a standard leverage design suffices, other models may be adequate.

Questions about this item

Is the D248-9ST the right model for soft annealed rebar tie wire or should I choose the D228?

The D248-9ST is designed specifically for soft annealed rebar tie wire while the D228 is a heavier all purpose plier with a tapered nose for confined spaces

What does the 36% greater cutting power mean when I am cutting wire on the job?

The high leverage design places the rivet closer to the cutting edge so you need less hand force to cut through wire compared to standard plier designs

Are these pliers insulated for electrical work or just plastic dipped for grip?

The handles are plastic dipped for comfort and ease of identification only they are not rated for electrical insulation
