🔪 Klein Tools D259 4C Pointed Cutting Tool Review

They cut ties but I don't have to cut anything else. (e.g. belt lacing or safety wire 0.020). I was very surprised because I've never had a problem with Klein before. I'll try grinding the face. The first one I bought (D409) was semi flush but Revain fixed it very quickly.

jaws and cutting surface aligned correctly but the outer surface of the tool is very rough. The tongs I received even have sharp metal burrs in the jaws that appear to be left over from the forging process. I would have expected much better quality from an American made instrument, especially at the prices Klein is charging. The cutting length of the head is quite short compared to other side cutters of this size.

I'm an operator and I work with safety wire all the time. Removing the safety wire from the mechanism can sometimes be painful. I needed a small, strong and most importantly sharp pair of knives to help with the job. This is exactly what I needed. They are made by Klein so you know they are of a very high quality. The safety wire is not soft and this cutter holds up very well. I would say 90% of the cuts he made were in the first 1/16 inch of the tip of the jaws and I see no (zero) wear. I love
