Overview
The Craftsman CMHT82549 is a plier built with an alloy steel handle, aimed at general gripping and fastening tasks. Beyond the handle material, the listing gives no jaw type, length or capacity details.
Alloy steel handles typically hold up to repeated squeezing and shop use better than plastic-coated grips, though without a jaw style or length listed it's hard to say whether this suits fine work or heavier gripping. The listed item weight of 0.01 ounces is clearly a data error rather than a real spec, so it is left out here.

Who it's for
Fits users who want a Craftsman-branded plier with a metal handle for general shop or garage use. Buyers needing a specific jaw type, needle-nose or slip-joint should confirm that detail elsewhere since it is not listed.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Alloy steel handle built for repeated shop use
- Craftsman branded with a strong review rating
- Jaw type and length are not listed
- Listed item weight appears to be a data error
Performance notes
Alloy steel handles resist the wear that plastic-coated grips show over years of shop use, holding their shape under repeated squeezing. Jaw geometry, which determines whether the plier suits fine gripping or heavier clamping, is not included in the listing.
