Overview
Craftsman's CMHT81645 pairs chrome-plated handles with a weight just under 0.6 pounds.
Craftsman does not list a jaw type, overall length, or jaw material for this plier, so it reads as a general purpose pick rather than a tool suited to one specific job. The chrome handle finish is the one construction detail confirmed in the data, aimed at resisting rust in a shop drawer or toolbox.
- Chrome-plated handle finish
- 0.28 kg (about 0.6 lb) item weight
Who it's for
Suits anyone who wants a Craftsman-branded plier for everyday shop or garage tasks without needing a documented jaw style. Less useful for a buyer who needs to confirm needle nose, diagonal, or slip joint jaws before ordering, since that detail is not listed.
Pros and cons
- Chrome-plated handles resist rust
- Light at about 0.6 pounds
- No jaw type or length listed
- No jaw material specified
Performance notes
The chrome plating on the handles is the main functional detail on record, a finish chosen mainly to resist corrosion rather than to change grip or leverage. At roughly 0.6 pounds it is light enough for extended one-handed use, though nothing in the spec sheet speaks to jaw hardness or cutting edge.
