High-Leverage Side-Cutting Lineman Pliers

Built for demanding utility, construction, and general industrial work, these side-cutting lineman pliers use a high-leverage joint design that positions the rivet closer to the cutting edge. This geometry provides increased cutting and gripping power while helping reduce the effort required for common wire and cable tasks.

The pliers feature cross-hatched knurled jaws for a secure grip on materials, along with induction-hardened cutting knives engineered for extended service life. A hot-riveted joint provides smooth operation and helps minimize handle movement during repeated use.

Forged from custom tool steel in the United States, the streamlined design is well suited to professional linework, construction, electrical maintenance, and general utility applications. The available configurations include 8-inch and 9-inch high-leverage models, with a specialized 9-inch version also available for holding and cleaning 5/8-inch pole-line hardware and threaded rods.
