The Klein Tools 9-Inch Lineman’s Pliers with New England Nose (Model D213-9NE) are engineered for high-leverage cutting and gripping tasks in electrical, utility, and construction applications. With a rivet positioned closer to the cutting edge, these pliers deliver 46% greater cutting and gripping power compared to standard designs. The induction-hardened cutting knives ensure long service life and clean cuts on copper, aluminum, and other soft metals. The New England-style nose provides added control and precision, making these pliers ideal for wire prep, splicing, and general line work.

Built from induction-hardened steel and made in the USA, the pliers feature a hot-riveted joint for smooth operation and reduced handle wobble. The cross-hatched knurled jaws offer a secure grip, while the plastic-dipped handles enhance comfort and visibility. Unique handle tempering helps absorb the snap when cutting wire, and the handform handles are shaped for full gripping and cutting power. These pliers are not insulated and should not be used for live electrical work.
