Overview
This listing, titled Knipex 87 01 180 #2, is priced at $42.31 and carries a 4.8-star rating from 189 reviews. The listing shows 0 buyers in the last month.
It differs from the plastic-handled Knipex 87 01 180 elsewhere in this batch: this one lists an alloy steel handle and a length of 9.5 inches. The listed item weight of 0.01 ounces is not physically plausible for a full-size plier and looks like a data error in the listing, so we are flagging it rather than repeating it as fact, and would recommend confirming actual weight before buying.
With 189 reviews, this has the smallest review base among the three Knipex 87 01 180 style listings in this batch, though its 4.8-star average still clears our quality floor.
