In-Store Exclusive

This one's worth the trip to the store.

Brands like Weber, Milwaukee, Yeti, and DeWalt restrict where their products can be sold online — and for good reason. In-store buyers get authentic products, full manufacturer warranty, and access to pricing that simply isn't allowed to be advertised on the web.

  • Authorized dealer network · Full manufacturer warranty & support
  • Guaranteed authentic · No counterfeits, no gray-market resellers
  • The brands set these standards · Be wary of sellers who don't follow them

Every order helps keep your local hardware store on the corner.

Why we built NHG
You might find it for less locally. Independent retailers often offer competitive pricing — some products are even cheaper in-store than online.
Real expert advice — not search results. Independent hardware staff know their inventory and the local conditions you're working in.
Keep the neighborhood working. Every dollar spent at an independent retailer returns roughly 3x more to your local economy than at a national chain.

About Product Overview

When you need precise, flush cuts in tight spaces, Klein Tools 6.16 in. Steel Diagonal Cutting Pliers are built to perform with confident control. Crafted from solid steel, these diagonal cutters combine durability with a compact profile that slips into crowded panels, boxes, or PPE setups without sacrificing leverage.

  • Overall length: 6.16 inches — the right balance of reach and control for electrical work, automotive wiring, and general maintenance.
  • Jaw capacity: approximately 0.5 inches, with a jaw length of 0.798 inches and a jaw thickness of 0.43 inches, delivering clean, precise cuts on wires and leads.
  • Material: steel for lasting edge retention and reliable performance under repeated use.
  • Color: red for quick identification in busy toolkits and on crowded workbenches.
  • Packaging details: carded packaging with 1 piece per package for easy handling and display.

Why these diagonal cutting pliers stand out: they’re designed for electricians, hobbyists, and maintenance pros who need a dependable tool that can handle copper and small-diameter wires, component leads, and tidy snips in cramped panels. The 6.16" profile provides solid leverage without sacrificing fingertip control, while the steel jaws stay sharp longer, reducing the need for constant resharpening and rework.

Ideal use scenarios

  • Electrical installations: trim stray wires, snip wire ties, and neaten conductors inside breaker panels.
  • Electronics work: cleanly cut leads and insulation during assembly or repair in tight spots.
  • General maintenance: quickly handle small-diameter cuts in automotive, HVAC, or home improvement projects.

With Klein Tools, you’re investing in a trusted hand tool designed to meet the demands of real-world projects. This 6.16-inch steel diagonal cutting plier delivers reliable performance, straightforward usability, and the practical features you rely on for precise, controlled cuts every time.

Their Counter
Try local first · we'll wait

The stores we send you to are local and independently run — often for generations, the kind of place where someone behind the counter knows the regulars. We don't own them. We just think they deserve the foot traffic. They can put most of what we sell on their next truck. Ask there before you check out here.

About our directory. National Hardware Group is an independent retailer and directory. The local stores we list and link to are separately owned and operated — we have no ownership stake in any of them, and most pay us nothing to be included. That includes plenty of stores flying a co-op banner that people don't realize are locally owned and run, not operated by a corporation. Store owners can choose to upgrade their listing for an enhanced presence or pickup features, but the base directory is free, and inclusion is never a paid endorsement.
