Compact Crimping & Cutting Tool

The Klein Tools crimping and cutting tool measures 9.8 inches overall and weighs 12.80 ounces. It is built for electricians and technicians who need a single hand tool to crimp both insulated and non-insulated solderless terminals and to cut wire in tight spaces. The red plastic-dipped handles add grip comfort during repetitive use.

Crimp Range Defined by Die Markings

The tool’s crimping capacity is limited to the terminal sizes marked on the integrated die; no other gauges are supported. Its tapered nose allows access in confined panels, yet the fixed die geometry means the user cannot swap inserts for larger or smaller connectors. Cutting ability is restricted to the hardened nose cutter and does not extend to bolt or cable shearing.

9.8 Inch Length Determines Reach

The 9.8 inch length is the single specification that decides whether this tool fits the work envelope. Buyers who need a longer reach for deep enclosures or a shorter profile for crowded junction boxes should look elsewhere. The hot-riveted joint ensures smooth action without handle wobble at this fixed size.

Questions about this item

Is the 9.8 in length suitable for tight panel work?

The 9.8 in overall length and tapered nose are designed for confined spaces, so it fits inside crowded enclosures while still giving leverage for crimping and cutting.

What does the 12.80 oz weight feel like during extended use?

At 12.80 oz with plastic-dipped cushioned handles, the tool stays light enough to reduce hand fatigue during repetitive crimping and cutting tasks.

How does the hot-riveted joint affect the crimping action?

The hot-riveted joint eliminates handle wobble and delivers a smooth, consistent squeeze, so each crimp on insulated or non-insulated terminals seats cleanly.
