The Klein D2000-9ST, 9" Ironworker's High-Leverage Work Pliers are designed to aid in twisting of holding wire around rebar as well as to cut hardened wire, screws, and nails. The heavy-duty set of knurled jaws holds tight to wire allowing the user to easily twist and turn. The high leverage action of the pliers easily handles the material eliminating the strain of the user and the added handle hook bend allows for a better grip as well as another wire twisting option. These non insulated pliers are not meant for use with wire that is associated with high voltage or electrical applications.
