These Klein Tools Lineman's Pliers are induction hardened and have a hot-riveted joint for smooth and powerful action without handle wobble. Their unique tempered handle design, with dual material Journeyman handles provide a better grip and absorbs the snap when cutting wire, screws, nails or ACSR. These side-cutting pliers also have cross-hatched knurled jaws, and built in channels for pulling fish tapes without damage.
