Overview
Klein lists the 100CS as a carbon steel cutting tool with a metal handle, coming in at 2.9 ounces and 1.88 inches as a single piece.
Klein Tools has a long track record with electricians and tradespeople, and the carbon steel build fits that reputation for durable cutting tools. The 1.88 inch figure in the listing is not labeled as overall length, jaw length, or blade length, so it should be checked against the product photos rather than assumed. At 2.9 ounces it is light enough for one-handed cutting tasks.
- Model 100CS
- Carbon steel with metal handle
- 2.9 ounce weight
Who it's for
Fits tradespeople who already trust Klein's cutting tools and are comfortable confirming exact dimensions from the product photos. Less suited to anyone who needs the precise blade or jaw length spelled out before ordering.
Pros and cons
- Durable carbon steel construction
- Light at 2.9 ounces
- 1.88 inch dimension not clearly labeled
Performance notes
Carbon steel construction is standard for cutting tools that need to hold an edge under repeated use, and a metal handle adds durability over plastic. At 2.9 ounces the tool is light enough for extended one-handed cutting work, though the listed 1.88 inch measurement is not identified clearly enough to judge reach or capacity.
