Overview

This is a plier from Irwin, model IRHT82635, with a plastic handle. The listing does not specify jaw type, so buyers should check product images to confirm whether it is a slip joint, linesman, needle nose or another style before ordering.

Irwin makes pliers across several jaw styles, and the attribute data here narrows down to handle material only. Anyone shopping by function, such as wire cutting versus gripping versus bending, will need to check the listing photos or title closely, since that detail is not broken out in the spec sheet.

Who it's for

Suits buyers who have already confirmed from the listing photos that this specific jaw style fits their job. Not a safe pick for anyone relying on the spec sheet alone to confirm jaw type, since it is not listed.
