Ultimate Cutting Power and Versatility for Professional Linemen

Experience the pinnacle of American-made durability with the Klein Tools J2000-9NECR High-Leverage Lineman's Pliers. Part of the renowned 2000 Series, these pliers are engineered with induction-hardened cutting knives that are heavy-duty enough to slice through ACSR, screws, nails, and most hardened wire with ease. The high-leverage design positions the rivet closer to the cutting edge, delivering 46% more cutting and gripping power than standard plier designs. This mechanical advantage allows you to work longer with less hand fatigue, making it an indispensable tool for demanding electrical and construction environments.

Beyond brute strength, the J2000-9NECR offers exceptional versatility and comfort. It features a built-in crimper located behind the hinge, designed specifically for non-insulated connectors, lugs, and terminals, effectively combining two tools into one. The tool is fitted with Klein's signature Journeyman™ dual-material handles, which combine a hard inner core for durability with a soft outer surface for a firm, comfortable grip. With a precision-hardened head and a hot-riveted joint that ensures smooth action without handle wobble, these pliers are built to withstand the toughest abuse on the job site.

Key Features

  • Integrated Crimper: Built-in crimping die works seamlessly on non-insulated connectors, lugs, and terminals.
  • Heavy-Duty Cutting: Induction-hardened knives are capable of cutting ACSR, screws, nails, and most hardened wire.

Pro-Tip: The crimping die is located behind the hinge to maximize leverage, but this means you must apply significant force. For the best connection, ensure the connector seam (if visible) is aligned with the tooth of the crimper, and squeeze the handles until they are fully closed to ensure a secure, conductivity-preserving crimp.
