Overview

A stainless steel handle sets the Klein 38612 apart, giving this 15.36 ounce plier better corrosion resistance than a plain steel grip. The weight suggests a full sized tool rather than a compact or mini version.

Stainless steel handles typically add corrosion resistance compared to plain steel, which matters for tools that see damp or outdoor conditions. At just under a pound, the 38612 sits in the range of a standard full sized plier rather than a lightweight or miniature design.
