Overview
This KH004 plier from Wire weighs 140 grams and has a handle listed as plastic or rubber grip, with no length or jaw type specified beyond that.
The listing itself gives the handle material as plastic or rubber rather than one fixed material, so grip texture may vary depending on which version ships. At 140 grams it is light enough for one-handed use over longer stretches.
