A versatile tool that you should not miss at the job site!
The Klein Tools 1005RINS insulated crimping/cutting tool is a versatile, professional-grade solution designed for safe, precise work around energized circuits. Engineered for electricians, linemen, and technicians, this tool crimps both insulated and non-insulated solderless terminals and connectors from 10 to 22 AWG, making it a go-to for a wide range of wiring tasks. Certified to meet or exceed ASTM F1505-16 and IEC 60900 standards, each tool is individually tested and features the official 1000V rating symbol, providing verified protection when working near live sources. The multi-layer handle insulation includes a bright orange outer layer that is both flame retardant and impact resistant, helping ensure safety in unpredictable environments.
Its tapered nose—paired with a compact jaw length of 1.3" and a narrow 0.16" jaw width—makes it ideal for navigating tight or crowded electrical boxes with ease. The cutting knives, with a precision-ground knife length of 0.560", are induction hardened to maintain long-term sharpness for reliable performance. A built-in wire cutter in the nose enhances functionality, eliminating the need for a secondary cutting tool in the field. A hot-riveted joint guarantees smooth action with no handle wobble, ensuring consistent crimping and cutting even through repetitive use. The knife-on-anvil cutting style offers clean cuts and better control, while the cushioned high-dielectric grips, measuring 5.73" in length, provide superior comfort and added protection during long hours on the job.
