Klein D228-8-INS, Klein Insulated High-Leverage Diagonal Cutters High-leverage design with standard-bevel cutting knives. Provides 36% greater mechanical cutting and gripping advantage than regular diagonal cutters of the same size. Nominal Length 8" (203mm). Klein insulated tools are all marked with the official international 1000-volt rating symbol: "1000V". All Klein insulated tools comply fully with IEC 900 standards for insulated hand tools. These Klein insulated tools will protect against electrical shock which results from the tools making contact with energized lines or equipment with voltages up to 1000 volts when the tools are correctly used under proper conditions. The insulation on each tool consists of two layers. The high-dielectric white inner layer is a thick, exceptionally tough base coating which is bonded to the tool. The outer layer is a flame-retardant, impact-resistant, bright orange color.

Individually tested to exceed standards.
