Klein Tools 1570-3 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is the Klein Tools 1570-3 hook blade knife actually used for?
It is a cable skinning knife. The hooked 3 inch steel blade scores and slits cable jacket so you can strip it back, and the notch on the back of the blade scrapes or removes insulation from conductors. Klein builds it for repeated scoring and slitting work rather than general utility cutting.
2) Does a sheath come with the Klein 1570-3 skinning knife?
No sheath is included with the knife itself. Klein lists a leather sheath for it separately as Cat. No. 5163, which is what you would add if the tool is going on a belt.
3) Is the Klein 1570-3 knife insulated or safe to use on live circuits?
No. This is not an insulated tool, and Klein's own warning is to never use it on or near live electrical circuits. De-energize before stripping jacket. Eye protection is called for as well. If you need to work energized, use a properly rated insulated tool instead.
4) Does the Klein 1570-3 cable skinning knife have a ring for tethering?
Yes, there is a stainless steel ring molded into the handle, so it can be tied off or clipped on a lanyard when you are working aloft or in a bucket. Klein notes the ring makes no contact with the hardened steel blade, and both ring and blade are molded securely into the handle.
5) How long is the Klein 1570-3 knife overall, and will it fit a tool pouch?
Overall length is 8 inches (20.3 cm), with a 5 inch (12.7 cm) handle and a 3 inch (7.6 cm) blade. The measurement less the ring is also 8 inches. It weighs 0.3 lbs, so it carries easily in a pouch or on a belt sheath.
6) Is this a folding knife, and can I legally carry it on the job?
The 1570-3 is a fixed blade tool, with the 3 inch steel blade molded permanently into the 5 inch handle. Klein advises checking local law on selling, carrying, or possessing it, since fixed blade carry rules vary by state and municipality.
7) What is the Klein part number to order this cable skinning hook blade?
The manufacturer part number is 1570-3, Klein Tools. Ask for the Klein 1570-3 cable skinning hook blade with notch; the companion leather sheath is Cat. No. 5163.
