Overview
A WORKPRO plier with an alloy steel handle, rated 4.6 stars from 268 reviews. The CR-V model designation points to a chrome vanadium build, a common choice for plier jaws.
Chrome vanadium steel is chosen for pliers because it holds an edge and resists corrosion better than plain carbon steel, though this listing doesn't state the jaw style or overall length.

Who it's for
