Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- 9 inch size for heavy cutting and gripping
- Alloy steel build for repeated use
- Rated 4.7 from over 1,100 reviews
- Heavier at 1.1 pounds than smaller pliers
- Listing does not detail grip coating
Performance notes
The 9 inch length gives more leverage at the jaw than a shorter plier, which matters when cutting heavier gauge wire. Alloy steel construction is built to withstand repeated side cutting without the jaws losing their edge quickly. At 1.1 pounds it has enough heft for gripping tasks without becoming unwieldy in one hand.
