  • Warnings

    • Always inspect your tools before use. Destroy tool if insulation becomes damaged in any way.
    • Wear approved eye protection.
    • Because moisture, films, or other surface contaminants are conductive, Klein insulated tools must be kept clean, dry, and free of any surface contaminants.
    • Do NOT touch uninsulated portion of the tool or any conductive object when either might contact an energized source.
    • Whenever possible, always de-energize lines and equipment prior to working on or around them. Klein insulated tools are designed only to reduce the chance of injury where the tool may make contact with an energized source.
    • Only use tools that are marked with the official international 1000-volt rating symbol shown above, if there is any chance that the tools will make contact with an energized source.

  • Features

    • Integral guards help prevent hand contact with conductive parts
    • Precision machined knives cut cleanly and crisply even on fine stranded wire, mule tape and pull line
    • Thick, exceptionally tough, high-dielectric white inner coating is bonded to the tool
    • Made in USA
    • High-leverage design provides 46-percent greater cutting and gripping power than other plier designs
    • Forged steel for maximum durability
    • Hot-riveted joint for smooth action and no handle wobble
    • Flame retardant, impact-resistant, bright orange outer coating
    • Two layers of insulation provide protection against electric shock
    • Pliers are individually tested to exceed the ASTM F1505-16(2021) and IEC 60900 -2018 standards, for insulated electrical pliers, and clearly marked with the official 1000-volt rating symbol
    • Integral Guards Help Prevent Hand Contact With Conductive Parts

Klein Tools D213-9NE-INS – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Are the Klein D213-9NE-INS pliers rated for live electrical work at 1000 volts?
The D213-9NE-INS is a two-layer insulated plier individually tested to exceed ASTM F1505 and IEC 60900, and marked with the official 1000-volt rating symbol. Klein is explicit that insulated tools only reduce the chance of injury on contact with an energized source, so de-energize where you can, keep the tool clean and dry, and destroy it if the insulation is damaged in any way.
2) Will these Klein insulated pliers shear bolts or strip wire?
No. The D213-9NE-INS has no screw shearing holes and no stripping notches for solid or stranded AWG wire. It's a cutting and gripping plier with a single side-cutting knife 0.781 inches long. If you need to shear 6-32 and 8-32 screws or strip conductors, order a plier specified with those features instead.
3) How do I tell an insulated Klein plier from a regular one with dipped handles on the truck?
Look for the bright orange flame-retardant, impact-resistant outer coating over a thick white high-dielectric inner layer bonded to the tool, plus integral guards at the base of the handles that keep your hand off the conductive part. The white layer showing through the orange is the wear indicator - if you see it, the tool is done. Comfort-grip handles without that two-layer construction and without the 1000-volt symbol are not rated for energized work.
4) What is a New England nose on side cutting pliers and how is it different from a standard high-leverage plier?
New England refers to the nose profile: a slightly tapered, slimmer head than the standard blunt-nose side cutter, which helps in panels and boxes where the head has to reach into a crowded area. Everything else is conventional high-leverage lineman work - one side cutting knife, forged induction hardened steel, hot-riveted joint. The D213-9NE-INS jaw measures 1.91 inches long, 1.25 inches wide and 0.62 inches thick.
5) Can I use these pliers on a tool tether for elevated work?
No. The D213-9NE-INS is not tether capable, so there's no tether hole or lanyard attachment point on the handles. For work at height where a drop-prevention program applies, specify a tether-ready insulated plier instead.
6) How big an opening do the jaws give me, and will these fit in a standard pouch?
Jaw capacity is 1.375 inches, so the jaws open wide enough to grip conduit fittings, connectors and cable bundles up to about 1-3/8 inches. Overall the tool runs 9.68 inches long by 2.49 inches wide and weighs 1.25 pounds, with a handle length of 5.73 inches, which is a normal fit for a lineman plier pocket on an electrician's pouch.
7) Will these cut fine stranded wire and pull line cleanly, or just solid copper?
The knives are precision machined to cut cleanly on fine stranded wire, mule tape and pull line as well as solid conductors, and the high-leverage design gives 46 percent more cutting and gripping power than a standard plier pattern. The cutting edge is induction hardened steel with a forged body.
8) Is the Klein D213-9NE-INS made in the USA?
Yes, the 9-inch New England insulated side cutting plier, part number D213-9NE-INS, is made in the USA. That matters on public and institutional jobs carrying domestic-sourcing requirements on hand tools.
