Diagonal Cutting Pliers 6 1/8 in

These Klein Tools D252-6 pliers are heavy-duty diagonal cutters built from US steel for cutting copper wiring in electrical work. The 6 1/8 in overall length and tapered nose provide reach in tight panels, while the dipped pistol-grip handles give a secure hold during repetitive cuts.

Trade use versus precision needs

Electricians and maintenance technicians who need a durable side cutter for standard gauge copper will find the jaw width and length suited to daily panel and conduit work. Users who require insulated handles for live-circuit protection, a spring-return action to reduce hand fatigue, or an integrated wire-stripping function should look at a different tool.

Jaw capacity for copper wire

The cutting capacity is specified for copper wiring used in most electrical applications, so matching the conductor size to that rating is the single factor that decides whether this plier will handle the job.
