Klein Tools J2000-9NECRTP 9-1/2 in side cutting pliers with crimper and puller

9-1/2 inch side-cutting pliers

These Klein Tools J2000-9NECRTP pliers combine high-leverage cutting with a built-in crimper and fish-tape puller. They suit electricians and maintenance technicians who need one tool for cutting, crimping non-insulated connectors and pulling steel fish tape without damage. The 2000 series heavy-duty knives handle ACSR, screws, nails and most hardened wire. Dual-material Journeyman grips add comfort for extended use.

Sustained cutting and crimping performance

The high-leverage design multiplies hand force so repeated cuts through hardened wire or ACSR stay consistent without early fatigue. Crimping non-insulated terminals remains reliable across many cycles because the dedicated crimper zone is separate from the cutting knives. The fish-tape channel pulls tape smoothly even during long pulls, reducing tape deformation. Overall the tool maintains its function through continuous daily jobsite demands.

Heat, vibration and hand effort in normal use

The forged steel construction absorbs cutting shock, limiting vibration transfer to the hand during repetitive snips. Journeyman grips cushion pressure points so grip force stays low even when cutting tough materials. At 1.13 lbs the pliers feel balanced, reducing wrist strain during overhead or confined-space work. No external power or lubrication is required, keeping operating costs at zero.
