Uncompromising safety for high-voltage work!

The Klein Tools 2036EINS 6" electrician’s insulated long-nose side-cutting pliers are designed to prioritize safety and performance for electricians working on energized systems. Rated to 1000V and VDE certified, these pliers offer critical protection against electric shock, ensuring that you can safely handle electrical work in live environments. Whether you’re wiring outlets or dealing with energized circuit panels, the three-part insulation—complete with a white underlayer—alerts you to any damage, helping prevent potential mishaps.

For precise cuts and long-lasting reliability, the induction-hardened cutting knives keep the tool in top working condition, enabling you to snip wires cleanly without fraying. The knurled jaws allow you to wrap, loop, and shape wires with confidence, which is ideal when securing wires in confined spaces or while performing tasks like bending leads or twisting terminals. These pliers feature extended handles that provide added reach and leverage, perfect for those tight spots where every extra inch counts.

Crafted from US-made, custom tool steel and forged for maximum durability, these pliers are engineered to withstand heavy-duty use without compromising performance. The hot-riveted joint ensures smooth, reliable operation that stays secure even after years of constant use.

The multi-color design with small thumb guards not only offers a sleek look but also enhances comfort and control during use, while the flame-retardant and impact-resistant handle ensures safe, effective handling even in challenging environments. Plus, the compact design makes for easy storage in your toolbelt, so you always have this essential tool within arm’s reach.

Product Features

Stay Protected All the Time: These long-nose side-cutting pliers are designed with safety for professionals who work around energized circuits. They're rated for up to 1000 volts, offering critical protection against electric shock. Additionally, the pliers are VDE certified and meet IEC 60900 and ASTM F1505 standards, ensuring compliance with strict international safety requirements.
Spot Insulation Damage Early: The tool features a three-layer molded insulation system that includes a white underlayer, which becomes visible when the outer insulation is damaged. This built-in warning system acts as an early alert, helping you prevent accidents by visually signaling that the insulation may no longer be safe.
Rely on Your Tool Even in Tough Conditions: Built for jobsite conditions, the handles are both flame retardant and impact resistant, allowing the tool to withstand high heat and drops without failure. Whether you're working in tight switchgear, cluttered basements, or outdoor enclosures, these rugged handles protect the tool from physical and environmental stress.
Work Easily in Tight Spaces: Designed with a slim profile and precision tips, the pliers offer excellent maneuverability in confined areas. The jaw length of 1.9 inches, width of 0.688 inches, and thickness of 0.375 inches make it easier to navigate tight compartments. The fine point diameter of just 0.094 inches and jaw capacity of 1.72 inches give you the flexibility to reach and manipulate wires without obstruction.
Grip, Wrap, and Loop Wires with Confidence: The knurled jaw surface provides a strong, slip-resistant grip on wires and components, helping you perform tasks like wrapping terminals or looping conductors more accurately and securely. This enhanced grip is especially useful when working with smaller gauge wire or in damp or oily environments.
Cut Through Wire Cleanly: Equipped with induction-hardened cutting knives, the pliers offer long-lasting cutting performance. The 0.572-inch cutting length and side-cutting blade style are ideal for quickly trimming copper or aluminum wires without crushing or fraying them. The hardened edge maintains sharpness through repeated use, making the tool a lasting part of your electrical toolkit.
Apply More Force with Less Effort: The 6.9-inch overall length and 3.8-inch handle size provide enhanced reach, especially helpful in deep enclosures or behind panels. The extended design also gives you more mechanical leverage, making cutting and gripping easier with less strain on your hands and wrists.
Work Longer Without Fatigue: The ergonomic design includes small thumb guards and a sleek profile that fits comfortably in your hand. These features guide your grip and improve handling during repetitive tasks, helping you work with better control and reduced hand fatigue throughout the day.
