Klein lineman's, long-nose, diagonal and pump pliers — stocked in Canada, priced in CAD, shipped fast across Ontario & Quebec.
What's in this category
Pliers are the core of an electrician's hand-tool kit, and Klein's range covers the main types used on the job. High-leverage lineman's pliers handle gripping, twisting and cutting conductors. Long-nose (needle-nose) pliers reach into tight spaces and form loops on wire ends. Diagonal cutting pliers (side cutters) make clean cuts flush to a surface. Tongue-and-groove pump pliers adjust to grip pipe, conduit and larger fittings.
For a first kit, many apprentices start with a pair of high-leverage lineman's pliers, long-nose pliers and diagonal cutters, then add specialty and larger pump pliers as the work demands. Journeymen often carry insulated versions and several sizes. Klein tools are sold for professional use; installation and code compliance are the responsibility of a licensed electrician working to the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC).
