KNIPEX Tools has completely redesigned our Lineman’s Pliers series to make them easier to cut with, saving you time and energy. The rivet has been reduced in size and moved closer to the jaws to create an ultra-high leverage design for 25% easier cutting power. Additionally, the recess on the back now has an oval shaped design which works better on thicker, round or oval shaped cable. The design also has created a great way to deburr conduit pipes; open the jaws slightly for a round shape and insert the conduit. This new lineman’s design is not only making this product more competitive in the market but it is going to become the new design to beat! With carded packaging.
From the Manufacturer
The high leverage New England style linesman pliers require 40% less effort due to the lever action. The comfort grip is made of a two color dual material for addition gripping comfort. Additional gripping zone below the articulated joint for powerful leverage and pressing performance. Effective crosswise serrated gripping zone in the jaws for strong gripping and pulling. The cutting edges are an approximate 64 HRC and will cut through soft and hard wire. The cutting capacities are 4.6 mm for medium hard wire and 3.0 mm for hard wire.

Fit and finish in terms of performance were perfect.Rivet joint has zero play but opens and closes easily and smooth as butter (tight and loose all at the same time - VERY good manufacturing!).Cutters are sharp, well hardened/tempered, line up perfectly, and cut clean with a snap that good pliers provide.Jaws line up parallel and do not touch (NEW ENGLAND NE STYLE PLIER JAWS ARE SUPPOSED TO HAVE A SMALL GAP TO KEEP FROM CRUSHING SOFT ELECTRICAL METALS).Knurling is nice and aggressive, and very well hardened/tempered.Fish tape puller works well and like all working surfaces, mate up perfectly.Handles are just soft enough to absorb snap and be forgiving when used for extended periods of time.At the time of purchase the knipex were 40% cheaper than 2000 series kleins.Item arrived quickly, as described, and in perfect condition. Appears to be 100% genuine K'nipex.

Finally... I can reach in a j-box and tighten the connector lock rings.More practical than any lock ring wrenches...

Amazing linemans. I was rather disappointed with my Klein d2000s and decided to find something that would replace them. I worked hard on breaking in the Kleins, and they worked well for a while. But the cutting edge dented when fairly new, and now the joint is so wobbly the cutting edges do not line up and the Jaws of the pliers touch. And they're only 3.5 years old! I've heard of knipex quality, and when I pulled them out of the envelope they fell open, no break in required. The Jaws grip like nothing else (great for tightening and twisting off cable ties) and the cutters go through copper with almost no effort at all. Lighter and less tiring to handle than Kleins (great for us with carpal tunnel) and they just feel better in the hand. I have basically started getting rid of almost all Klein tools in my bag because there are just better alternatives out there, like these pliers!

For those who are over Klein, these side Cutters are fantastic. I tried to make an exchange with a broken tool with Klein and because I didn't have my receipt from 2 years ago, they turned me down on the website. Just wanted to let everyone know that cuz I told them I would.

TIG welder here. Bought these, alongside the knipex mini bolt cutters, to cut filler rod. These are fantastic, and only have a little problem cutting 1/8 stainless filler.DON'T use them to cut tungsten, I did that and it bent the cutting surface ever so slightly.If you're between these or the mini bolt cutters for filler wire cutting, the mini bolt cutters cut easier and have no issue with 1/8, however the pliers are obviously more versatile.
