Klein Tools D2000-9NECR – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will Klein D2000-9NECR lineman's pliers cut ACSR and hardened wire without chewing up the blades?
Cutting ACSR, screws, nails and most hardened wire is exactly what these are specified for. The knives are induction hardened and run 0.781 inches long, so a full-depth bite on steel-reinforced aluminum conductor lands on hardened edge, not soft steel. That hardened-wire capability is the practical difference between a lineman's plier and a general-purpose combination plier, which will roll its edges on ACSR core wire.
2) Do I still need a separate crimping tool if I buy the Klein D2000-9NECR?
Not for non-insulated connectors, lugs and terminals. The 9-inch D2000-9NECR has a crimping die built into the jaw, so terminating a non-insulated lug and cutting the conductor happen with one tool on the belt. Insulated terminals and controlled-cycle ratcheting crimps still want a dedicated crimper; the built-in section is for the non-insulated work a lineman or electrician hits all day.
3) What is a New England nose on lineman's pliers and when should I pick it over a standard nose?
New England nose is a blunter, squarer jaw profile favored on the East Coast for twisting and pulling conductors. On the D2000-9NECR the jaw runs 1.594 inches long, 1.25 inches wide and 0.625 inches thick, which is the short, stout head that gives you a solid bite for twisting splices and pulling wire through a panel. A Western (round) nose tapers more and reaches further into tight boxes. Pick New England if most of your work is conductor twisting and heavy gripping; pick a longer tapered nose if you're reaching into congested enclosures.
4) How thick a bundle or conductor can the jaws actually open around on the Klein 9-inch lineman's pliers?
Jaw capacity is 1.375 inches, so anything up to roughly 1-3/8 inches across will seat in the jaws for gripping or twisting. That covers large conductors, bundled grounds, conduit locknuts and most hardware you'd grab on a service. Cutting capacity is a separate matter, the 0.781 inch knives sit behind the jaw and take the wire you're severing.
5) Is one pair of 9-inch Klein lineman's pliers enough to standardize on across an electrical crew?
For general electrical and utility work it covers most of the job in one tool: gripping and twisting conductors up to 1.375 inches in the jaw, cutting ACSR, screws, nails and hardened wire, and crimping non-insulated lugs and terminals. The two gaps to plan around when you're buying for a fleet are live work and tethering, since these are not insulated and not tether capable. Crews doing energized work or elevated work will need a second, purpose-rated plier alongside them.
6) What is the exact Klein part number and what does the CR in D2000-9NECR mean?
The part number is D2000-9NECR. Reading it out: D2000 is Klein's high-leverage lineman's series, 9 is the nominal length (9.35 inches actual), NE is the New England nose profile, and CR denotes the built-in crimping die. Steel construction, light blue plastic-dipped handles.
7) How heavy are the Klein D2000-9NECR pliers to carry on a belt all day?
They weigh 1.08 pounds at 9.35 inches overall, with a 5.41 inch handle. That is the standard weight for a full-size 9-inch high-leverage lineman's plier, and it's the tradeoff for the leverage: the mass is in the forged head and the joint. If you're in a pouch on a ladder all day and mostly cutting THHN rather than ACSR, a smaller 8-inch or a side-cutter will ride lighter.
8) Does the hot-riveted joint on Klein lineman's pliers make a real difference versus a pressed joint?
The joint on the D2000-9NECR is hot riveted, which sets the pivot with the parts hot so the fit closes as it cools. The practical result is no side-to-side wobble in the handles, which matters when you're putting your weight on a cut through ACSR and need the knives to stay in register instead of scissoring past each other. A loose joint is what eventually ruins a cutting plier, well before the edges dull.
