Overview
A stainless steel handle and a 1 kilogram (2.2 pound) weight set the Klein 38660 apart from lighter, standard hand pliers, pointing to a bigger frame built for tougher trade tasks.
At 2.2 pounds this plier weighs several times what a standard pair of lineman's or needle-nose pliers runs, usually a sign of a bigger frame, thicker jaws or added leverage built in for heavier trade tasks. The stainless steel handle adds corrosion resistance over painted or coated steel, useful in wet or outdoor conditions.
- Stainless steel handle
- 1 kilogram (2.2 lb) weight
Who it's for
Suited to tradespeople who need a heavier, reinforced plier and value corrosion resistance from a stainless handle. Less suited to anyone wanting a light, compact plier for fine or repetitive tasks.
Pros and cons
- Stainless steel handle resists corrosion
- Heavier build suggests reinforced jaws and leverage
- At 2.2 pounds, heavier than typical for fine or repetitive work
- Jaw type and length not specified
Performance notes
Weight in a plier generally tracks with jaw size, material thickness and built-in leverage, so the 2.2 pound figure here suggests a larger, more reinforced tool than a typical hand plier. The stainless steel handle also holds up better against rust than coated steel in damp or outdoor job conditions.
