Klein Tools D248-9ST – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Are the Klein D248-9ST ironworker's pliers insulated for live electrical work?
No. The D248-9ST is not insulated, so it must not be used on energized conductors. The handles are plastic-dipped for grip and comfort only, not for voltage protection. If you need to work live, you need a tool rated and marked 1000V insulated.
2) What is the difference between Klein D248-9ST and D248-9STT?
Same 9-inch angled-head ironworker's diagonal cutter, two ordering choices: the D248-9ST comes with no tether point, and the D248-9STT has a tether ring for attaching a lanyard. If you work off the ground, on steel, or on any site with a dropped-object policy, order the D248-9STT.
3) Will these Klein ironworker's pliers cut rebar tie wire?
Yes, that is what the tool is built for. The high-leverage design gives 36 percent more cutting power for soft annealed rebar tie wire, and the cutting knives are induction-hardened for tool life. Note the rating is for soft annealed tie wire, not for cutting rebar itself or hardened wire.
4) How close to a surface can you cut with an angled head diagonal cutter like this?
The angled head plus short jaws with beveled edges let you get the cutting edge right down against a surface or into a corner. Jaw length is 0.813 inches, jaw width 1.188 inches, and jaw thickness 0.46 inches, so the working end stays compact in tight bays and between rebar mats. Overall height is 2 inches.
5) How big is the jaw opening on the Klein 9-inch ironworker's cutter?
Jaw capacity is 1 inch, so the jaws open wide enough to take in a bundle of tie wire or a sizeable cable before you close on it. Overall tool length is 9.13 inches with a 5.88-inch handle, which is what gives you the leverage to close that capacity by hand.
6) Should I buy diagonal cutters or ironworker's pliers for tying rebar?
They do different halves of the job. These D248 series cutters are a diagonal cutting tool, so they cut and trim tie wire flush but they do not twist and pull like a ringed nipper or a plier-style ironworker's tool with gripping jaws. Crews tying steel typically carry a twisting tool for the tie and a high-leverage angled-head cutter like this for cutting and trimming in tight spots.
7) Do these Klein pliers have a solid joint that won't get sloppy?
The joint is hot-riveted, which Klein uses to keep the action smooth and stop handle wobble developing under heavy cutting. Body is steel throughout. For a fleet buyer standardizing a tool crib, that riveted joint is the reason these hold up better than a bolted, adjustable-joint cutter on repetitive wire work.
8) How heavy are these, and will they weigh down a tool belt?
0.68 pounds for the 9-inch cutter, so it hangs on a belt or pouch without much penalty. Handles are red plastic-dipped with a hooked end to cut down slippage, which also makes them easy to pick out of a shared bag of black-handled tools.
