Overview

Plastic covers the handles of the Astro 94222, a plier listed at 4.08 pounds. That weight is heavier than a typical single hand plier, worth checking against how the tool will actually be used.

Astro is known for specialty automotive tools, though the listing here doesn't specify jaw type, length or intended use beyond calling it a plier. The plastic handle covering is the one grip detail confirmed in the spec data.
