Klein Tools is offering a six-piece trim-out set (Cat. No. 80006) that includes a heavy-duty cutting 2000 Series[R] 9″ high-leverage side-cutting pliers (Cat. No. D2000-9NE), a Klein-Kurve[R] wire stripper/cutter (Cat. No. 11055), a 4″ round shank No. 2 Profilated[R] Phillips-tip screwdriver (Cat. No. 603-4), 1/4″ cabinet-tip screwdriver with a 4″ heavy-duty round shank (Cat. No. 605-4), and a 4-pocket tool pouch (Cat. No. 5119). The six-piece trim-out set also includes a complimentary Klein[R] lightweight utility belt (Cat. No. 5204).
Designed to allow electricians to efficiently handle a majority of their daily projects, the six-piece trim-out set is a portable solution for users who do not need a full-range of tools for a particular job. It also is useful for apprentice electricians who are building their tool sets with core tools.
“Feedback from our customers inspired us to package our four most popular products into a convenient tool set, allowing them to complete a majority of their day-to-day projects,” said Chris Niklas, product manager for Klein Tools.
A part of the heavy-duty 2000 Series[R], Klein Tools’ high-leverage side-cutting pliers have a unique handle tempering that help absorb the “snap” when cutting most hardened wire, screws, nails and ACSR. With sure-gripping cross-hatched knurled jaws, the hot-riveted joint is closer to the cutting edge giving the pliers a 46 percent greater cutting and gripping power than other plier designs.
Klein-Kurve wire strippers/cutters have wire-looping and bending holes, precision-ground stripping holes, and a strong-gripping serrated nose allowing easy bending, shaping and pulling of wire. The curved handle design of the Klein-Kurve wire stripper/cutter helps users reach into confined spaces.
Klein Tools’ No. 2 Profilated[R] Phillips-tip screwdriver, with a 4″ shank, is precision machined to provide more consistent, geometric symmetry than conventional Phillips-tip screwdrivers. The Profilated tip provides a better fit into fasteners preventing the screwdriver head from slipping out of the fastener and from warping the fastener head. The handle end also has the patented Tip-Ident[R], which quickly identifies the type of screwdriver and its tip orientation. The Cushion-Grip handle provides users comfortable use.
The 1/4″ cabinet-tip screwdriver has a narrow tip and is precision-machined, permitting blade access where space is limited. The screwdriver also features a Cushion-Grip handle with Tip-Ident. With a 4″ heavy-duty round-shank, the Klein Tools cabinet-tip screwdriver has an overall length of 8-11/32″.
Included in the trim-out set is a Klein Tools four-pocket tool pouch, which is constructed of leather and is riveted and stitched for extra durability. The tool pouch has a slotted tool belt connection. A free Klein Tools lightweight utility belt is provided to be used with the tool pouch. The tough, molded, non-metallic, slide-action buckle provides one-handed, quick release and adjustment.
