1,500 owner reviews, fewer than most models here
The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other hand tools and workshop hand tools we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
The Klein D2000-28 carries a 4.7 rating from 1,500 reviews and sells around 200 a month. It comes from Klein's D2000 high-leverage line, and the listing confirms an alloy steel construction.
Spec depth is otherwise limited: there is no published length or jaw-capacity figure, and the listed 0.6 ounce item weight is clearly an error for a steel plier and should be disregarded. As always, verify dimensions on the product page if size matters for your task.
At about $35 it sits a few dollars above the D228-8 and D2488, so the choice among these Klein cutters comes down to model preference, rating, and whatever length you confirm on the listing.

Performance notes
Alloy steel and the D2000 high-leverage lineage point to a robust cutter, and the 4.7 rating over 1,500 reviews backs that up. With no published length, confirm the size on the product page before buying.
What buyers say
A 4.7 average from 1,500 reviews indicates owners are consistently satisfied, in keeping with Klein's reputation for durable cutting pliers.
Both are alloy steel Klein side-cutters; the D2000-28 is from the high-leverage D2000 line and runs about $35, a few dollars more than the D228-8. Confirm length differences on each product page.
Is the 0.6 ounce weight accurate?
No. That figure is an obvious data error for a steel plier and should be ignored when comparing models.
