Klein Tools D201-9NE – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is a New England nose on the Klein D201-9NE pliers, and how is it different from standard side cutting pliers?
The Klein Tools D201-9NE is a 9 inch side cutting plier with a New England nose, meaning the head is tapered to a slimmer, more streamlined profile than a standard square-nose lineman's plier. That shape helps in panels and junction boxes where a bulky head gets in the way, while the side cutting knives still handle wire cutting. The jaws are cross-hatched knurled for grip.
2) Do these Klein 9 inch pliers have insulated handles rated for live electrical work?
No. The D201-9NE has plastic-dipped handles for comfort and easier identification, not insulation rated for energized conductors. If you need protection on live work, you need a plier specifically marked as insulated to 1000V, not this one.
3) Are the cutting knives on the Klein D201-9NE hardened for repeated wire cutting?
Yes. The cutting knives are induction hardened for long life, and the plier head itself is precision hardened. The tool steel is custom, US made. For an electrician cutting wire all day, that is what keeps the knives from rolling over.
4) What part number do I order for the Klein New England nose lineman's pliers?
Order Klein Tools D201-9NE. That is the manufacturer part number for the 9 inch side cutting plier with the New England nose, and it ships as a single tool, one model, no size or finish options to pick.
5) Will the handles on the D201-9NE loosen or wobble over time?
The joint is hot-riveted, which Klein uses to keep the action smooth and eliminate handle wobble. The handles are also specially tempered to absorb the snap you feel when a wire parts under the knives, which is the usual source of hand fatigue on a long pull day.
6) Are these pliers a good fit for an MRO or facility tool crib doing general electrical maintenance?
They suit that work. The D201-9NE is a 9 inch side cutting plier built for gripping, twisting and cutting wire, with a hardened head and induction hardened knives for daily use. The tapered New England nose gives better access in crowded boxes than a square-nose plier, so it standardizes well across a maintenance crew doing panel and device work.
