Klein Duckbill

[imike929]

Hey guys.....anyone out there have a pair or two? They stopped making them years ago and are just about nonexistent online.

I am pretty sure I have a pair out in the garage.
I didn't know that Klein dropped them from the line up.

Do they have to be Klein? Channellock, Snap On, Proto & Knipex all make them (among others)

 

[KnurledNut]

Which ones?
The D305-6?


D315-8?

 

[bob15]

The D305-6?

D315-8?

They are both discontinued/NLA

Obviously. Trying to determine which he is after.

You weren't exactly clear what you were asking about. I took your question as which model was discontinued.

There are some NOS 205-6 on Ebay right now.

Channellock 718 are very nice. I'd be very surprised if anybody was ever disappointed in them.

some of the duckbills were used for Leatherwork. You might try a specialty site and find them there

Sorry! Should have specified. I am looking for the D305-6 The same as the above pictured model

Yes. I have ordered just about every other brand there is and these just work the best for grabbing semi-con off of high voltage cable

The only thing I found that may be close, haven’t ordered them yet, is Stahwille

If they are the D305-6 as described, I’d be willing to take them off your hands

Let me go look and see.

Looks like these are the 8’s. Heading to the flea,I will keep my eyes open for some 6's.

I have a pair, we were moving an old desk at work and found a few pairs still in the box in one of the drawers.

I would sure rather have the D315-8 for the longer handles.

Have you tried the Knipex 30-190? They are excellent pliers.
(Edit: They come in 160mm/6.3" too.)

If you need something a little slimmer, the Flat Nose Telephone Pliers (2911160) might work.
