Klein Tools D335-51/2C – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Are the Klein D335-51/2C needle nose pliers insulated for live electrical work?
No. The D335-51/2C has plastic-dipped handles, and Klein states plainly that the tool is NOT insulated and that plastic-dipped or slip-on handles are not intended for protection against electrical shock. If you need to work energized, you need a tool rated and marked for insulated use (1000V VDE type), not this one. Eye protection is called for either way.
2) How fine is the tip on the Klein D335-51/2C long needle nose pliers?
The point diameter is 0.0625 inch (1/16 in, 0.16 cm), with a jaw width of 0.51 inch and jaw thickness of 0.313 inch tapering to that tip. That is an extra-slim nose, which is why it reaches into crowded device boxes and control panels where a standard needle nose will not. The jaws are finely knurled so thin wire grips without being chewed up.
3) Is this a true 5-inch plier or is it longer overall?
Klein calls it a 5-Inch needle nose, which refers to the nose/jaw class, not the tool end to end. Overall length is 5.67 inches (14.4 cm), with 1.709 inches of that being jaw and 2.67 inches of handle. Shipping weight is 0.13 lbs, so it rides in a pouch or shirt pocket without being noticed.
4) Do these Klein needle nose pliers spring open on their own?
Yes, the D335-51/2C is spring-loaded for self-opening action, which matters when you are forming conductor hooks one-handed inside a box. The handles are curved for control and the joint is hot-riveted, so there is no side wobble when you are twisting fine wire.
5) How wide can the jaws of these extra slim needle nose pliers open?
Jaw capacity is listed at 2.62 inches (6.7 cm). Combined with the slim 0.313 inch jaw thickness, that lets you spread the tips around a terminal block or fish a dropped screw out of a gap that a lineman's plier cannot enter.
6) Where are Klein D335 needle nose pliers made and what steel is used?
Forged in the USA from custom US-made tool steel. For an MRO crib standardizing on one brand of hand tool, the identifying number to spec is Klein Tools D335-51/2C, with light blue plastic-dipped handles making it easy to spot in a shared toolbox.
