Overview

Stanley's 84-101 is a compact plier with a plastic handle, weighing 4 ounces. It fits the brand's lineup of everyday hand tools for light gripping and bending tasks.

Weight and handle material are the only confirmed specs here, so jaw type such as needle nose or slip joint is not stated. At 4 ounces it is light enough for a tool bag or drawer without adding bulk.
