D248-9ST Diagonal Cutting Pliers, Made in USA, Ironworker's Diagonal Cutters with High Leverage Design, Works as Rebar Cutter and Rebar Bender, 9-Inch

I’m a big fan of Klein Tools, and the D248-9ST Diagonal Cutting Pliers definitely live up to the reputation! These cutters are incredibly strong and durable, and they make cutting through tough materials like rebar feel effortless. The high leverage design gives you great control and power, making even the hardest jobs easier. They’re well-made in the USA, which gives me confidence in their quality. Whether you're working on electrical projects or cutting through metal, these pliers do the job with ease. Definitely recommend for anyone who needs reliable, heavy-duty cutters.

The build quality on these it top notch, I picked these up because for $30 they are a great price for what you get. The grips on these are made of good stuff and they cut right through the nails I needed gone like a knife through butter, they have an interesting shape and they didn't hurt my hands at all

Absolute quality in a hand tool. The longer handles provide the leverage for cutting thick gauge wire with ease. The jaws are strong and sharp I’ve used this tool to cut 10 ga. Steel wire mesh and even stainless steel hog rings with no issues.

Amazing quality and price was great.

I'v had many pairs of dikes in my life, from Craftsman to Channel Lock to Irwin to Klein and Klein have always lasted longer more pleasurable to use and not had chipped blades. Although this model is actually designed for re-bar wire I bought them for electrical use. I like the angled head and longer handles which allow me to reach into tighter spaces. We don't always realize the thought that goes into designing something like these but the handle angles etc. are very important. It can make using a tool a pleasure or make it miserable to use. Klein has been around a long time and they have perfected their designs. Around here almost all electricians use Klein Linesman pliers and dikes exclusively. As an example of design issues I used to have a Craftsman 3 piece set of slip joint pliers. I thought they would be great, chrome plated, coated handles etc. but the design was terrible. Anytime you would really squeeze hard on them you would inevitably end up in pain and usually a black fingernail. Just poor design, slipped off too easily (all 3 pair) I know Craftsman has used several manufacturers over the years and these were a long time ago but it shows the importance of a company like Klein, what looks like a simple pair of wire cutters probably took many years of trial and error to achieve the product they sell today. Very good dikes!

I work Electrical construction and it is a great tool. It is easy to use and handle, great price and does the job.

this tool makes it easier to cut wires

Great tool for the work environment! Highly recommended
