Klein Tools J2000-59 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Are the Klein J2000-59 diagonal cutting pliers insulated for live electrical work?
No. The Klein J2000-59 Journeyman diagonal cutters are not insulated, so they are not rated for work on energized conductors. The Journeyman dual-material handles are there for grip and comfort, not for electrical protection. If you need a cutter for live work, order an insulated 1000V-rated diagonal cutter instead.
2) What is the largest wire these 9-inch Klein diagonal cutters will take?
Jaw capacity on the J2000-59 is 0.281 inch (0.7 cm), which is the maximum material thickness the jaws will close over. Klein rates the cut for ACSR, screws, nails and most hardened wire. Anything thicker than 0.281 inch needs a bolt cutter or cable cutter, not a diagonal cutter.
3) What does high-leverage actually mean on the Klein J2000-59, and is it worth it over a standard diagonal cutter?
High-leverage means the rivet is moved closer to the cutting knives, and Klein states it gives 46 percent more cutting power than a standard design. On a day of cutting hardened wire, ACSR or screw ends, that is the difference between leaning on the tool and a clean single squeeze. For light THHN branch circuit work a standard 8-inch diagonal cutter is plenty; the high-leverage 9-inch earns its place where you are regularly into hardened material.
4) Can I use these Klein diagonal cutters to cut screws and bolts without wrecking the blades?
Yes, within the 0.281 inch jaw capacity. The cutting knives are induction-hardened and the extra-long blades are rated for ACSR, screws, nails and most hardened wire, and the angled head is made for getting at a protruding screw. Hardened fasteners above that capacity will nick the knives, so size the fastener first.
5) How heavy are the Klein 9-inch Journeyman diagonal cutters on the belt all day?
They run 1.03 lbs. That is normal for a 9-inch high-leverage cutter, and the weight is in the head where the steel is. Heat treated steel body with induction-hardened cutting knives, so the mass is doing work rather than just sitting there. If you are hanging a full pouch, the dual-material Journeyman handles are the part that decides comfort more than the ounce count.
6) Will the J2000-59 fit in a standard tool pouch or a tool bag plier slot?
Overall footprint is 8.94 inches long by 2.344 inches wide, with an overall height of 0.781 inch at the head. That clears a standard plier pocket in most electrician pouches, but it is a 9-inch class tool, so a pouch cut for 6-inch dikes will leave the handles standing proud.
