Overview
IRWIN's 2078900 plier weighs 7.68 ounces and uses a plastic handle, with a 4.5 star rating across 7,876 reviews and 100 units bought in the past month.
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.
