The Klein Tools 9-Inch Lineman’s Pliers with Crimping (Model D213-9NE-CR) are designed for professionals who need a reliable tool for both cutting and crimping in electrical and utility applications. These pliers feature a crimping die located behind the hinge, providing superior leverage for crimping non-insulated connectors, lugs, and terminals. The high-leverage design positions the rivet closer to the cutting edge, delivering 46% more cutting and gripping power than standard pliers. Induction-hardened cutting knives ensure long-lasting performance and clean cuts on copper, aluminum, and other soft metals.

Built from custom, US-made tool steel, the pliers include a hot-riveted joint for smooth operation and reduced handle wobble. The New England-style nose offers added control, while cross-hatched knurled jaws provide a secure grip. Plastic-dipped handles enhance comfort and visibility, and the handform design supports full gripping and cutting power. These pliers are ideal for line work, splicing, and terminal installation in field maintenance and construction environments.
