Overview
The CRAFTSMAN CMHT81647 is a plier built with alloy steel handles, part of Craftsman's mechanics hand tool lineup for gripping, bending or turning fasteners and small parts.
No seller description or reviews are attached to confirm the exact jaw pattern, but the alloy steel handle construction places it in Craftsman's standard mechanics plier range built for repeated shop and garage use rather than precision electronics work.
