Overview

The Craftsman 928070 is a plier with alloy steel handles, weighing 2.09 pounds. That weight is heavier than typical needle nose or wire pliers, pointing to a larger-jawed tool meant for gripping and turning rather than fine detail work.

Craftsman's plier lineup covers everything from long nose to tongue and groove designs, and the 928070's specs alone do not pin down which jaw pattern this one uses. What the numbers do show is a tool built with metal handles rather than a rubber or plastic grip overlay, favoring durability over cushioned comfort.

Who it's for

Fits anyone who wants a solidly built, all-metal plier for shop or garage use where grip strength matters more than a soft-touch handle. Less suited to users who want a cushioned grip for long sessions of repetitive squeezing.

Performance notes

Alloy steel handles add durability and grip strength compared to plastic-bodied pliers, at the cost of some hand comfort during long stretches of use. The 2.09 pound weight is consistent with that steel-through construction rather than a hollow or composite handle.
