Overview
Plastic handled and weighing 12.8 ounces, the Klein 34056 is a cutting tool whose size field lists Hex Crimper, pointing to built-in crimping capability alongside the cutting edge. Klein Tools has a long history in the electrical trade, and this combination fits cable and wire work.
The listing's size designation of Hex Crimper is worth noting: it suggests the 34056 pairs a cutting edge with a hex crimping die, a common combination in electrical and low-voltage tools rather than a cutter alone. Klein does not spell out wire gauge capacity in the data given, so buyers working with specific cable sizes should check that separately.
- Cutter with built-in hex crimper
- Plastic handles
- 12.8 ounce weight
- Klein Tools brand
Who it's for
Fits electricians or low-voltage installers who want a combined cutting and crimping tool from an established brand. Not the right pick if you need a dedicated large-gauge bolt cutter or a crimper without cutting jaws.
Pros and cons
- Combines cutting and hex crimping in one tool
- Lightweight plastic handles at 12.8 ounces
- Made by an established electrical trade brand
- No wire gauge or capacity range listed
- No seller description to confirm exact use case
- Plastic handles may not suit heavy gauge cutting
Performance notes
The hex crimper designation on the size field indicates the tool combines a cutting edge with a crimping die in one head, saving a swap between separate tools during cable work. Plastic handles at 12.8 ounces keep the tool light for repeated one-handed use, though Klein does not list wire gauge range in the given data.
