Overview
The Klein 89556 is a cutter built from aluminum, high carbon steel, and stainless steel, with an alloy steel handle. It measures 12 inches overall and weighs 13.4 ounces, sold as a single tool.
Klein Tools is best known for electrician and utility hand tools, and the mixed-metal build here, high carbon steel paired with aluminum and stainless steel, points to cutting jaws backed by lighter, corrosion-resistant body parts. The listing does not state a maximum cutting capacity or wire gauge, so buyers cutting heavier stock should confirm that on the product page.

Who it's for
Electricians and tradespeople who need a 12 inch cutter and already know their required cutting capacity. Not for buyers who need a stated wire gauge or bolt diameter confirmed before purchase.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- High carbon steel jaws for the cutting edge
- Light at 13.4 oz for a 12 inch tool
- Maximum cutting capacity not listed
- Mixed materials, so durability varies by part
Performance notes
High carbon steel jaws typically hold a cutting edge longer than softer alloys, while the aluminum and stainless steel components likely keep the overall weight down to 13.4 ounces despite the 12 inch length. No cutting capacity is listed, so match the tool to your material by checking Klein's published specs separately.
