I assume you are talking about the guy cable that is in the center of a tri-plex cable? The steel cable that will damage most cable cutters. I Googled that question and although it says they are "Induction Hardened" I would not chance that. Not only that but I would think a pair of hardened Klein lineman pliers would do a much better job at that. All I can tell you is I have used these pliers in hard duty applications and they hold up. The are great for prying over hammered staples on Romex with their offset feature. (I bought the diagonals with a slight offset in them) . I love the tool and bought one for my son as well. **Q: What's the difference between the 238-8 and the 248-8?** A: According to the Klein website, the 238”s are semi-flush cut whereas the 248”s are slightly angled. Search for both on the Klein site to compare pics of them. **Q: Do you still offer the D248-8 plier w/ curved handles?** A: I bought mine around a year ago so I assume they still do. They're very popular and can't imagine them not being available. Bound to be a Klein best seller. **Q: what is the difference between the 8-in and the model refered as standard ????** A: Item and brand are the quality I use. Fits my hands better, ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works as expected *by M***H on July 19, 2026* Works as expected ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Well-made, handles a wide variety of wire types and sizes. *by M***T on June 12, 2026* I’ve used this tool on several gauges and types of wire and it’s cut each one with no problem.

Cutting edges are hardened, grip is comfortable, the mechanical leverage is the best I've seen: they moved the pivot point very close to the cutters so it takes significantly less force to cut heavy wires and cables. ## Frequently Bought Together - Klein Tools D248-8 Pliers, Made in USA, Diagonal Cutting Multi-Purpose Pliers with Angled Head, High-Leverage Design, and Short Jaw, 8-Inch - Klein Tools 32500 11-in-1 Screwdriver / Nut Driver Set, 8 Bits (Phillips, Slotted, Torx, Square), 3 Nut Driver Sizes, Cushion Grip Handle - Klein Tools 11055 Wire Cutter and Stripper, Made in USA, Stranded and Solid Wire Cutter, Cuts Copper --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.is/products/4443287-diagonal-cutting-pliers-angled-head-short-jaw-8-inch](https://www.desertcart.is/products/4443287-diagonal-cutting-pliers-angled-head-short-jaw-8-inch) --- *Product available on Desertcart Iceland* *Store origin: IS* *Last updated: 2026-09-13*
