Klein Tools D20009NEGLW Side Cutter Linemans Pliers – Glow-in-the-Dark Grips, 9-Inch, Made in USA

Klein Tools D20009NEGLW Side Cutter Linemans Pliers

Meet a tool built for professional use in variable lighting conditions. The D20009NEGLW pairs a 9-inch profile with glow-in-the-dark grips that illuminate after charging in natural or artificial light. This combination helps you quickly spot the tool on crowded job sites, reducing search time and improving workflow in low-light moments.

Beyond visibility, these pliers bring reliable cutting power to your hands. Their high-leverage design places the rivet closer to the cutting edge, delivering up to 46% more cutting and gripping power than standard plier configurations. The cross-hatched knurled jaws lock onto ACSR, screws, nails, and hardened wire with a sure grip, while precision machined knives ensure clean, crisp cuts on fine stranded wire, mule tape and pull line.
