Overview
A KNIPEX plier, model 74 21 250, with plastic coated handles and a light body weight of 9.44 ounces. KNIPEX is a German tool maker known for precision hand tools, and this model's low weight suits extended one handed use.
Plastic coated handles are a common feature on pliers meant for regular hand use, giving a firmer grip than bare metal and some cushioning over long sessions. At under 10 ounces, this is a lighter tool than many full size pliers, which matters if it will be held for extended periods rather than used for occasional quick tasks.
