Klein Tools D230-4C 4 1/4 in Diagonal Cutting Pliers

SKU CH-2NSP-7RNNC

Diagonal cutting pliers with a 4 1/4 in overall length and semiflush pointed nose for precision wire cutting

  • Semiflush cut leaves clean wire ends for reliable connections
  • Pointed nose reaches tight spots in panels and junction boxes
  • Spring-return jaws reduce hand fatigue during repetitive cuts
  • Cushion grips provide comfort and control for all-day use
  • Rated to 1,000 V for safety on live circuits up to that voltage

4 1/4 in Diagonal Cutting Pliers

These Klein Tools diagonal cutting pliers are built for electricians and technicians who need a compact semiflush cutter. The pointed nose reaches tight junctions and the spring-return action reduces hand fatigue during repetitive snips. Rated for 1,000 V, they suit live-circuit work where insulation is not required. Standard cushion grips provide everyday comfort.

Semiflush Cut Pointed Nose

The semiflush profile leaves a cleaner wire end than standard flush cutters while still fitting into crowded panels. The 0-degree head offset keeps the cutting plane straight for precise trimming. The jump from a bulkier cutter is worth it when access is limited and a low-profile head prevents collateral nicks on adjacent conductors. ESD-safe, non-sparking and tether-ready features are absent.

1/2 in Jaw Length and 3/4 in Maximum Opening

The 1/2 in jaw length and 3/4 in maximum opening handle common solid and stranded wire up to typical panel gauges. The steel blades maintain edge retention through daily use. Capacity runs out on thick multi-conductor cables or hardened wire that exceeds the jaw span. For heavy-gauge feeder work a larger cutter is required.

Questions about this item

How much clearance do I need for the 4 1/4 in overall length?

The pliers measure 4 1/4 inches from end to end, so allow at least that much straight space in your tool bag or on the workbench.

What is the correct way to engage the spring-return jaw opening?

Squeeze the handles to cut; the internal spring pushes the jaws open automatically when you release pressure — do not force them apart manually.

When should I replace the cushion grips?

Replace the standard cushion grips once they show cracks, hardening, or loss of grip texture to maintain comfort and control during cutting tasks.
