Overview
The TEKTON PGA16005 is a plier with a vinyl-dipped handle, weighing 2.24 ounces. That light weight points to a small, slim-jaw tool rather than a heavy duty gripping plier.
At just over two ounces, this plier is built for precision work rather than leverage-heavy tasks. TEKTON brings an established name in hand tools, and the vinyl handle coating is a standard choice for grip and light insulation rather than a premium feature.

- 2.24 ounce tool weight
- Category: pliers
Who it's for
Suits detail work such as jewelry, electronics or hobby projects where a light, slim plier is useful. Not the choice for anyone needing a heavy duty plier for bending or cutting thicker material, since the weight here suggests a smaller tool.
Pros and cons
- Very light at 2.24 ounces
- Vinyl handle for grip
- Jaw style not specified
- Likely too small for heavy duty work
Performance notes
The 2.24 ounce weight is the clearest signal here: it puts this plier in the range of small needle nose or precision pliers rather than heavier linesman or slip joint styles. The vinyl handle adds grip and light padding but does not change the tool's cutting or bending capacity, which is set by jaw geometry not given in this listing.
