The Stanley Longnose Plier is a useful tool to have around the home for a variety of projects. It is made with a fixed joint design so it can turn and cut. The long nose of this 8 inch Stanley plier will allow you to reach those difficult areas. The rubberized grip on the handle makes it comfortable to hold, and it will not slip out of your hands. This is a dependable tool that is suitable for professional builders or car mechanics as well as the do-it-yourself home repair person. It is constructed to last, with induction hardening that helps the jaws stay sharp longer and drop-forged steel for strength and durability.
