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

Meet the Klein Tools 7.65 in. Steel Diagonal Cutting Pliers β€” a compact, precision tool trusted by electricians, hobbyists, and technicians who need clean, confident cuts in tight spaces. Built to perform where other cutters stumble, this tool delivers consistent bite and reliable edge retention when trimming wire and conductors.

Key features you’ll notice on the job:

  • Jaw capacity: 0.625 in (5/8 in) β€” handles thicker wires with controlled, flush cuts
  • Overall length: 7.65 in β€” a balanced blend of reach and leverage for one-handed operation
  • Jaw length: 1 in β€” robust cutting area for solid, repeatable results
  • Jaw thickness: 0.5 in β€” sturdy profile designed for durability in daily use
  • Material: Steel β€” designed to stand up to regular cutting tasks in electrical and maintenance work
  • Color: Red β€” easy identification in busy toolboxes, consistent with Klein Tools’ professional lineup
  • Packaging: Carded β€” convenient for display and individual sale
  • Includes: 1 piece per package

Why this diagonal cutter is a smart choice for your toolkit

  • Versatility in a single tool: ideal for trimming copper and aluminum wire, removing insulation, and snipping stray conductors in breaker panels, behind outlets, and in wire baskets.
  • Reliability you can feel: steel construction provides a solid cutting edge that holds up through routine electrical tasks and electronics assembly.
  • Designed for real-world use: the 7.65" length strikes a practical balance between leverage and maneuverability in confined spaces.
  • Easy to locate and trust: the signature Klein Tools red handle and proven performance make this cutter a staple in professional tool kits.

Practical tips for best results: align the wire with the cutting edge, apply steady pressure straight through the material, and avoid cutting hardened or braided wire beyond the jaw’s capacity to preserve edge life. After use, inspect the cutting edges for nicks and wipe away debris to keep the action smooth and accurate over time.
