Overview
The Klein 11055KLE is a lightweight cutter with a plastic handle, weighing 5.4 ounces, from Klein Tools, a brand best known for electrical hand tools.
At just over 5 ounces, this sits closer to a wire stripper or cutter meant for cable work than a heavy duty bolt cutter, which tracks with Klein's electrical tool lineup. The listing does not break out jaw type or wire gauge capacity, so pair the model number against Klein's own documentation if a specific gauge range matters for the job.

Who it's for
Fits electricians and DIY electrical work where a light, easy to handle cutter is used repeatedly through a shift. Not suited to heavy gauge cable or bolt cutting, where a larger, heavier tool provides more leverage.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Light at 5.4 ounces for repeated use
- From an established electrical tool brand
- Wire gauge capacity is not listed
- Plastic handle offers less leverage than metal
Performance notes
The plastic handle keeps overall weight down to 5.4 ounces, reducing hand fatigue across a full day of repetitive cuts, though the tradeoff is less mass and leverage than an all-metal cutter for tougher material.
