Overview
A lightweight, plastic-handled IRWIN plier with a solid rating, though its lower monthly purchase count and missing jaw specs are worth weighing against other options in this batch.
IRWIN is an established name in pliers and hand tools, and this listing's plastic handle and light 7.68 ounce weight point to a standard size plier rather than a heavy duty groove joint or linesman model. Jaw type, length and cutting capability aren't part of this data, so those details should be confirmed on the product page.
- IRWIN plier, model 2078900
- Plastic handle
- Weighs 7.68 ounces
Who it's for
Reasonable for buyers who trust the IRWIN name and want a lightweight plier for general use. Not the listing to rely on if jaw type, length or cutting edge specs need to be confirmed upfront.
Pros and cons
- Lightweight at 7.68 ounces
- From IRWIN, an established hand tool brand
- Jaw type and length not specified
- Handle listed only as plastic, no cushioned grip noted
- Lowest monthly purchase volume in this batch at 100
Performance notes
At 7.68 ounces this is a light, easy to handle plier, though the listing does not specify jaw style, overall length or whether it includes a wire cutter, so its suitability for a specific task can't be confirmed from the data alone.
