Overview

Weighing 0.57 pounds, the DEWALT DWHT70275 pairs an alloy steel handle with DeWalt's tool branding. That's a light, compact build compared to heavier duty pliers.

DeWalt is a widely recognized name in hand and power tools, and this listing's alloy steel handle detail means a bare metal grip rather than a cushioned or rubberized one, worth noting for extended use.
