Klein Tools D2000-49 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Are the Klein D2000-49 diagonal cutting pliers insulated for live electrical work?
No. The D2000-49 is not an insulated tool, and the plastic-dipped handles are comfort grips only, not rated protection. Use it on de-energized circuits. If you need to work live, buy a Klein tool that is specifically VDE/1000V insulated rather than this one.
2) Will these 9-inch Klein diagonal cutters fit in a panel or junction box without hitting the sides?
The head is angled, which is the point of this model: it lets you get the jaws onto a conductor at the back of an enclosure while the handles stay clear. Jaw width is 1.25 inches and jaw length 0.813 inches, so the working end is compact even though the tool is 9 inches overall. In very tight gutter work the 9-inch handle span is the limiting factor, not the head, so a shorter 7- or 8-inch cutter is easier in cramped boxes.
3) What size cable can the Klein D2000-49 open up to?
Jaw capacity is 1 inch, so the jaws open wide enough to get around cable up to that diameter. That covers ACSR, guy strand, and large service conductors as far as jaw opening goes. Bear in mind these are standard cutting knives, not a flush cut.
4) Can the D2000-49 be tethered for work at height?
No. The 9-inch angled-head diagonal cutters are not tether capable, so there is no attachment point for a tool lanyard. For aerial or elevated work where a drop-prevention policy is in force, choose a tool built with a tether ring.
5) Do these Klein cutters leave a flush cut on wire?
No. The D2000-49 uses a standard cut style with standard cutting knives, so it leaves a slight pinch and a small tail. If you need wire trimmed dead flush against a board or terminal, use a flush-cut diagonal cutter instead.
6) Is the D2000-49 heavy enough to cut screws and nails, or will it damage the edges?
It is built for it. The knives are induction-hardened and the body is forged steel, and the high-leverage design puts roughly 67 percent more cutting power at the jaws for hardened wire, nails and screws. The 0.46 inch jaw thickness gives the head the mass to take that load without deflecting.
7) If I am standardizing tool kits across a crew, how do I spec this exact Klein cutter?
Order by Klein part number D2000-49, described as 9-inch angled-head high-leverage diagonal cutting pliers with yellow plastic-dipped handles. There is one configuration, no handle or finish options to choose, so every unit on a purchase order comes out identical, which is what you want for a fleet kit.
8) How is the joint on the Klein D2000-49 built, and will the handles develop wobble?
The joint is hot-riveted rather than screwed or bolted, which is what keeps the cutting action tight over the life of the tool instead of loosening into side play. There is no adjustment screw to tighten, so if a hot-riveted joint ever does loosen the tool is replaced, not serviced.
