Overview
Lisle's 17000 plier keeps weight to about 1 pound with a plastic handle, part of the brand's specialty automotive tool line. It carries a 4.8 rating across 194 reviews.
Lisle plier tools are typically built for a specific automotive task rather than general shop use, and the plastic handle here points to a lighter, non impact tool meant for control rather than heavy leverage. At 1 pound it sits in the range of a single-hand specialty tool rather than a large multi-jaw plier.

Who it's for
Fits technicians or DIY mechanics who need a Lisle-branded specialty plier for a specific job. Not a fit for buyers wanting a general purpose plier for everyday shop use.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Light 1 pound weight for one-hand use
- Plastic handle reduces overall tool weight
- Plastic handle less durable than forged metal
- No jaw length or capacity listed
Performance notes
The plastic handle keeps the tool light at 1 pound, trading some of the durability of a metal handle for lower weight and a non conductive grip.
