Klein Tools introduces the 9-in. Journeyman Heavy-Duty Diagonal-Cutting Pliers with extra-long cutting blades. The thicker forging ensures increased durability while the extra-long cutting blades provide 57 percent more cutting surface for greater cutting ability and more efficiency on the job. The 9-in. Journeyman Heavy-Duty Diagonal-Cutting Pliers (Cat. No. J2000-59) feature:

  • High-leverage design with 46 percent more cutting power
  • Induction-hardened cutting knives for longer life
  • Heavy-duty cutting knives that cut ACSR, screws, nails and most hardened wire
  • Angled blade design for easier access to cut screws and bolts
  • Hot-riveted joint for smooth action and no handle wobble
  • Exclusive handle tempering that absorbs the “snap” when cutting wire
  • Dual-material Journeyman handles that provide better grip and added comfort


“At Klein Tools, we are dedicated to innovation and quality, which means continually re-imagining our existing products,” says Austin Minor, associate product manager at Klein Tools. “We listened to our customers and have designed these all-new Heavy-Duty Diagonal-Cutting Pliers to last longer and perform more cuts over time than standard diagonal-cutters.”
