Klein Tools 3101 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What comes in the Klein Tools 3101 replacement blade kit for tinner snips?
The 3101 kit contains two high-carbon steel cutting blades, four 10-32 Phillips head screws with nuts, and one 5/16 inch (8 mm) center pivot nut. That is everything needed to rebuild the cutting end, so you are not scavenging hardware off the old blades.
2) What thickness of sheet metal will Klein 3101 snip blades cut?
Rated for 22 gauge cold-rolled sheet metal and 27 gauge stainless steel sheet metal. Anything heavier than that is outside the blade's capacity. They are also not for hardened wire, nails, or any rounded stock, which chips the edge.
3) Can I rebuild my tinner snips instead of buying a new pair?
That is exactly what the 3101 is for. The cutting blades on the snips are replaceable, so when the edges dull or nick you swap the blades and reuse the handles. The kit ships with the pivot nut and the four 10-32 screws and nuts, so the whole cutting assembly goes back together with new hardware.
4) How long are the Klein 3101 replacement blades?
Overall length is 6.313 inches (16 cm) per the spec, and the set weighs 4.3 oz (122 g). Measure the blade you are pulling off your snips against that number before ordering, since blade length is what determines whether the screw holes and pivot line up.
5) What tools do I need to change the blades on tinner snips with the 3101 kit?
A Phillips screwdriver for the four 10-32 screws and a 5/16 inch wrench or socket for the center pivot nut. No specialty tool is involved, and the replacement screws, nuts, and pivot nut all come in the kit.
6) Is the Klein 3101 a single blade or a pair?
A pair. Klein part number 3101 supplies both cutting blades for the snips, not one half, so you replace the upper and lower jaw together and the edges mate correctly.
7) Are the Klein 3101 blades hardened steel or soft?
High-carbon steel, which is what lets the edge hold up on repeated sheet metal cuts. It also means the blades are not meant for cutting hardened wire or nails, both of which will chip a hardened edge rather than shear.
