December 21, 2016 – Klein Tools says it has combined all of the major functions of side-cutting pliers into one tool—the 9-in. Journeyman high-leverage side-cutting pliers with wire stripper/crimper.

“We know electricians often use their ‘Klein’s’ to strip wire,” said David Klein, associate director of product management at Klein Tools. “So we incorporated stripping holes into the cutting jaw to make that task more efficient. That added function saves time on the jobsite and means fewer tools needed in the tool bag.”
