These Klein Tools Universal Combination Pliers have a crimping die behind the hinge for better leverage of non-insulated connectors, lugs, and terminals. They also have tons of grip from the toothed pipe grip, and a high-leverage design, with the rivet closer to the cutting edge for 40% greater cutting and gripping power than other pliers designs. The handform handles are tempered to help absorb the snap from cutting and they are dipped for comfort. For more than 160 years, Klein Tools has manufactured premium-quality, professional-grade hand tools that deliver the performance, durability and precision needed to get the job done right.
