Overview
The Stanley 84-097 is a plier with alloy steel handles, weighing about 0.07 kilograms, roughly 2.5 ounces. That places it among the lighter pliers in a typical toolbox.
Alloy steel is a common choice for plier construction, balancing strength with manageable weight, and the light overall weight here suggests a compact tool rather than a heavy duty model built for high leverage tasks. No jaw style, length or capacity is given in the listing, so buyers should treat this as a general purpose plier rather than one matched to a specific job.

- Compact plier
Who it's for
Works for someone who wants a compact, lightweight plier for small general tasks around the house. Less suited to anyone needing a heavy duty plier for high leverage jobs, given the light weight and lack of stated capacity.
Pros and cons
- Light at about 2.5 ounces
- Alloy steel handle construction
- No stated jaw capacity or length
- Light weight may limit it to smaller tasks
Performance notes
At roughly 2.5 ounces, this is a light plier likely built for smaller scale gripping rather than high leverage work. Alloy steel handles offer a middle ground on durability, though without a stated jaw length or capacity, matching it to a specific task is left to the buyer's own judgment.
