Available for Backorder

Be protected from up to 1,000 volts of electric current when working near energized sources with Klein's 8-Inch Insulated Universal Combination Pliers. These pliers offer flame-retardant handles, a toothed pipe grip and a high-leverage design, with the rivet closer to the cutting edge for 40% greater cutting and gripping power than other pliers designs. The durable, molded insulation meets or exceeds IEC 60900 and ASTM F1505 standards for insulated tools.

Warnings

  • Do NOT touch uninsulated portion of the tool or any conductive object when either might contact an energized source.
  • Wear approved eye protection. Always inspect your tools before use. Do not use if orange coating cracks, breaks or becomes damaged. Destroy tool if white layer shows through orange layer.
  • Always inspect your tools before use. Destroy tool if insulation becomes damaged in any way.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Because moisture, films, or other surface contaminants are conductive, Klein insulated tools must be kept clean, dry, and free of any surface contaminants.
