Overview
Plastic instead of metal is the defining trait of the IPS PH-200 plier, keeping it to 0.44 pounds. That's lighter than the steel handled plier also listed in this batch.
Set next to the steel handled Channellock plier elsewhere in this batch, the PH-200's plastic handle is the more budget and weight conscious choice, at the cost of some long term durability under hard use.

Performance notes
