Irwin Vise-Grip long nose pliers are manufactured in Germany with high-quality steel. Durable enough to cut even the thickest, toughest materials. Induction-hardened cutting edges cut ACSR, nails, screws and even piano wire. Designed with 3-zone comfort-grip, the handles are contoured for optimal cushion and control, allowing the comfortable cuts. Handles are engineered with integrated hooks designed to attach to the Irwin Performance Lanyard System, allowing the user to attach the pliers to help prevent accidental drops when working in elevated conditions and provides easy retrieval when stored in a pouch or pocket.
