Overview
The Orion GSQ-A001-00 is a plier built with a plastic handle, offering a lighter grip option for general clamping and turning tasks around the home or workbench.
A plastic handle trades some of the ruggedness of steel or alloy grips for reduced weight and a softer feel in the hand. Nothing in the listing specifies an electrical insulation rating, so this should be treated as a general purpose grip material rather than a safety feature.
