Overview

Weighing in at just under a kilogram, the BLACK+DECKER BDHT84001 plier pairs an alloy steel handle with general purpose gripping for household repair. The listing keeps details brief beyond handle material and weight.

The listing is thin on detail beyond handle material and weight, so this reads as a general purpose plier rather than a specialty type like needle nose or locking. The alloy steel handle points to durability aimed at repeated use around the house or garage.
