RARE Vintage Klein 208-6PC 

All Purpose Electronic Pliers with Cutting Blades at the Tip

Patent Pending in 1959

These Klein Pliers are New Old Stock and have been in our inventory since new. We have been a Klein Distributor for many years and are currently selling some of our older inventory of Klein Tools. These are one the older of the Klein Tools that we have. You can tell by the color of the boxes. The first boxes that we had were a darker yellow with a matte finish and said Klein Pliers by Mathias Klein & Sons. This is one of that generation. The next generation is a lighter glossy yellow box and says Klein Pliers and is signed Mathias A Klein Jr. as part of the logo.

The only way I had to date these pliers was to find an old advertisement from the Railway Signaling and Communications magazine from 1959. That was when the Patent was Pending. I have added a photograph of the ads for you to see.

The 208-6PC were an all purpose electronic needle nose pliers designed with a shearblade at the tip to allow flush cutting of wire. Blades do not require sharpening. Will cut hard or soft wire up to 18 gauge. 

Jaws behind blade holds clipped wire.

Coil spring keeps jaws apart. 

There is a knob of sorts in the jaw that matches up to a hole on the other side for more precision opening and closing.

Handles are not dipped. This coating was added later for comfort.

Length: 6 3/8 Inches

Manufactured by Mathias Klein & Sons. Chicago, ILL., USA.

The pliers are in pristine condition, but the bottom flap of the box is torn.
