Overview

The Irwin 2078305 is a cutter with a rubber handle, weighing 2.88 ounces. It carries a 4.6 star rating from 967 reviews and around 50 purchases a month.

At under 3 ounces, the 2078305 is a lightweight hand tool, and the rubber handle points to a grip built for comfort and slip resistance rather than the harder composite grips found on heavier duty cutters. Irwin's 2078 series generally covers diagonal and wire cutting pliers, though this listing does not specify the jaw style.

Who it's for

Fits buyers who want a light, rubber gripped cutter under 3 ounces and already know the 2078305 matches their cutting task. Not ideal if you need the listing to confirm jaw type or maximum wire gauge, since neither is stated.
