Klein Tools D201-9 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Are the Klein D201-9 handles insulated for live electrical work?
No. The D201-9 has plastic-dipped handles for comfort and easy identification, not insulation. Plastic dip is not an insulated rating, so do not treat these as live-work tools. For energized work you need a plier specifically marked and tested as insulated.
2) What is the difference between Klein's D201-9 side-cutting pliers and a lineman's pliers for electrical work?
The D201-9 is a 9-inch side-cutting plier, which is the lineman's-style tool most electricians carry. The cross-hatched knurled jaws grip and twist conductors, and the induction hardened cutting knives on the side of the head cut wire. If you need to reach into a crowded box or pull small conductors, a long-nose or diagonal cutter is the better tool; the side cutter is for gripping, twisting and cutting at the bench or in the panel.
3) Will the Klein D201-9 pliers hold up to daily cutting without the handles loosening?
The joint is hot-riveted, which Klein specifies to keep the action smooth and eliminate handle wobble over time. The plier head is precision-hardened and the cutting knives are induction hardened for knife life, and the tool is made from Klein's own US-made tool steel.
4) Is the D201-9 a plain side cutter or does it also have a crimper and fish-tape puller?
The D201-9 is a straight side-cutting plier: knurled gripping jaws plus side cutting knives. Klein's feature set for it does not include a crimping die or a fish-tape pulling notch. If you want those on one tool, look for a Klein high-leverage plier built with the crimping and fish tape features rather than this basic 9-inch model.
5) What model and part number do I order for Klein's 9-inch side-cutting pliers?
Order Klein Tools D201-9. That is both the model and the manufacturer part number for the 9-inch side-cutting plier.
6) Do the Klein D201-9 pliers have a comfort grip that reduces snap when cutting wire?
Klein tempers the handles specifically to absorb the snap when a wire parts, and the Handform handle shape is built to give full gripping and cutting power through the stroke. That handle tempering is the feature that takes the shock out of repeated cutting on a long pull.
