Klein Tools 744 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will serrated snips like the Klein 744 cut electrical wire, or are they only for soft material?
The 744 has a 1 inch serrated carbon steel blade with a straight curvature and a standard tip. Serrations bite soft and slippery material, so it is the right tool for cable ties, tape, rope, insulation and cable jacket trimming. For cutting copper conductors you want a dedicated cutter or lineman's plier instead, since a thin snip blade is not built to shear solid metal conductor.
2) Can a left-handed electrician use the Klein 744 spring action snips?
Yes. The Klein Tools 744 snip is ambidextrous, so the handle and blade geometry work the same in either hand. The handles are plastisol coated for grip and the spring reopens the blades on its own, so you are not fighting the tool to reset between cuts.
3) Is the spring tension on the Klein 744 snip adjustable if it gets too loose or too stiff?
Tension is set by a screw adjustment, so you can tighten or back off the pivot as the tool wears in rather than living with whatever it came at. That matters on a tool used for repetitive cutting all day.
4) How big are Klein 744 snips, and will they fit in a tool pouch?
Overall length is 6.375 inches, width 1.75 inches, height 0.563 inches, at 0.3 pounds. That is pouch and shirt pocket size, light enough to carry on a belt all shift without the bulk of full size aviation snips.
5) What is the difference between spring action snips and a regular pair of snips for an MRO stockroom?
Spring action means the blades reopen themselves after each cut. On the Klein 744 that is the whole point: for repetitive work like clipping hundreds of cable ties in a panel or trimming insulation, you only work the closing stroke. Non-spring snips need you to open them manually every time, which is fine for occasional cuts but adds up over a day. The tradeoff is that a self-opening tool will not stay closed in a pouch unless it has a latch.
6) What model number do I order for Klein 6-3/4 inch spring action snips?
Order Klein Tools model 744. It is a single configuration snip, so there is no finish, hand, or blade option to specify, just the one part number.
7) Are these snips suitable for cutting flex duct and insulation on an HVAC job?
The 744 handles duct tape, insulation and flexible duct trimming, and the serrated edge keeps facing and foil from sliding out of the jaws. With a 1 inch blade it is a trim and detail tool though, not something to run a long straight cut through sheet metal duct with; use aviation snips for that.
8) Will carbon steel snips rust in a damp mechanical room or outdoor utility work?
The blades are carbon steel, which is harder-wearing than stainless but will corrode bare, so the 744 is plated chrome over nickel to resist it. Wipe the blades down and store dry after wet work; the plating protects the body, not a neglected cutting edge.
