Klein Tools D245-5 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can the Klein D245-5 diagonal cutters be used on live electrical circuits?
No. The D245-5 is not insulated. The red plastic-dipped handles are there for grip and quick identification in a pouch, not for shock protection, and Klein states plainly they are not intended to protect against electrical shock. If you need to work energized, use a tool rated and marked for insulated use. Eye protection is called for whenever you cut wire with these.
2) Does the D245-5 have flush cutting edges or standard bevel?
Standard cut with standard cutting knives, beveled rather than flush. You will leave a small pip on the cut end, which is fine for THHN, fixture wire, and general trimming. For a true flush cut on component leads you want a flush-cutting tool instead. The knives on the D245-5 are induction hardened for edge life.
3) How wide can the jaws of the Klein D245-5 open?
Jaw capacity is 1.047 inches, which is the opening at the jaws rather than a wire rating. In practice that is plenty of room to get around a bundle or a larger conductor to position the cut, but the cutting itself should stay within soft copper and comparable wire a 5 inch diagonal cutter is built for. Do not use it on hardened steel, screws, or nails.
4) Can the D245-5 be tethered for work at height?
No. The D245-5 is not tether capable, so there is no tether hole or attachment point on it. If your site requires drop prevention above a certain elevation, you need a tether-ready version of the tool or an approved tool-trap style attachment; this one will not accept a lanyard as supplied.
5) Will these cutters develop handle wobble with daily use?
The joint is hot riveted, which Klein pairs with a smooth action and no handle wobble claim. The tool is forged US tool steel throughout, listed simply as steel construction, and the cutting knives are induction hardened so the edges hold up to repeated service rather than rolling over after a few weeks in a pouch.
6) How heavy is the Klein D245-5, and is it practical to carry all day?
At 0.2 pounds it is a pocket or pouch tool, not a belt anchor. Combined with the 5.1 inch overall length it fits a standard pliers pocket on an electrician's pouch and adds almost nothing to the load, which is the usual reason techs carry it alongside a full-size side cutter rather than instead of one.
7) What is the exact part number to reorder these Klein tapered nose cutters?
Order Klein Tools D245-5. That is the manufacturer part number and the model designation, a 5-inch tapered nose diagonal cutting plier with red plastic-dipped handles. There is only one configuration, so there is no finish or handle option to specify when standardizing a crew or a stockroom bin.
