Overview

Knipex's 88146 plier pairs a plastic or rubber-coated handle with a 13.12 ounce weight, carrying a 4.8-star rating across 320 reviews, though jaw type isn't specified in the listing.

Knipex builds pliers for trade use, and the 88146 carries that reputation into its handle finish and heft. Beyond the handle material and weight, the listing does not specify jaw type or sizing, so buyers comparing against other Knipex pliers in the same range should check the model number against their intended use before ordering.
