Klein Tools 2100-5 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can I use these electrician's scissors on live circuits?
No. Klein's own warning on the 2100-5 is to never use it on or near live electrical circuits, and to always wear approved eye protection. These are uninsulated nickel-plated steel scissors, not an insulated tool, so de-energize before you cut.
2) How long are the blades on the Klein 2100-5 scissors, and will they handle larger cable?
Cutting length is 1.875 inches (4.8 cm) with a 5.25 inch (13.3 cm) overall tool length. That is a short, stout shear meant for wire, small conductors, tape and insulation in a panel or box. For heavy cable or multi-conductor feeder you want a dedicated cable cutter instead, not a 1-7/8 inch scissor bite.
3) What is the Klein Tools 2100-5 electrician's scissors used for besides cutting?
Beyond cutting, the 2100-5 has a scraper and a file on the outside of both blades, so you can scrape insulation or clean a conductor without reaching for another tool. Klein lists it for telecom, electrical and heavy-duty work.
4) Do the Klein 2100-5 scissors loosen up over time, or can the pivot be tightened?
The 2100-5 uses a screw hinge rather than a fixed rivet, so the pivot tension can be adjusted as the blades wear or if the action gets sloppy. That matters on a tool that lives in a pouch and gets used daily.
5) What part number do I order for Klein's 5-1/4 inch electrician's scissors?
Order Klein Tools 2100-5. It is a single-model item, no handing, size or finish to specify, and it is made in the USA.
6) Will Klein's electrician scissors rust in a tool pouch or damp service van?
The blades are tempered steel with a nickel-plated finish that resists corrosion, which is what keeps them serviceable in a pouch. It is plating, not stainless, so wipe them down after wet work.
