These pliers feature soft grip vinyl handles and have an integrated wire cutter. The Igarashi Pliers Co, commonly known as IPS, manufacturers a complete line of pliers from traditional types to the largest variety of non-marring plastic lined pliers available. IPS products are manufactured in Japan and are very good quality. Review: Came with red handles, but the quality exceeded my expectations. - Close to no wobble with the pliers. Amazing. I've ordered USA-made Channellocks with a ton of quality issues ranging from pre-rust on the rivet and a ton of play with the slip-joint mechanism. None of that is present here with the Japanese-made tooling standards. The pliers came with an extra set of jaws and screws to fasten them. Red handles are nice, and arguably better than the clear ones advertised here, as they won't smudge or get noticeably dirty over time as quickly as white handles typically do. The jaws have a v-groove on the tip, allowing for precision work to be done. It makes holding thin metals and plastics very easy, and there's no worry that you will damage your workpiece. This makes the tool perfect for any type of eyeglass repair work, as well as jewelry-making. Again, the PH-165 exceeded my already high expectations. The tool could be worth 10 dollars more than the asking price and I'd still likely buy it. I'm glad IPS kept manufacturing and toolmaking to Japan, unlike Tsunoda who offshores their plastic-jaw tools to Thailand. Yet another reason to take a deeper look into IPS's offerings. You can also buy the replacement jaws, which are also made in Japan by IPS themselves, for very cheap. I recommend doing so, as these jaws are not designed to last and are meant to be a consumable item per job. Once the plastic jaws lose their edge, it's not good to continue using them - you may damage your work. Review: Great No-Marring Pliers - I only use these occasionally, but they are a valuable tool for not marring what I clamp on. Eventually I'm going to buy their larger size pilers. Even though I don't have a current use for them, just because these are quality pliers and someday I'll need them. The extra set of plastic jaws they come with are a nice touch. ## Features - Replaceable non-marring pads - Soft grip handles - 2 position slip joint - Integrated wire cutter - High quality pliers made in Japan ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B001V7DYSQ | | Batteries Included? | No | | Batteries Required? | No | | Best Sellers Rank | #37,900 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #22 in Slip-Joint Pliers | | Brand | 五十嵐プライヤー(Igarashi Plyer) | | Color | Purple | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (852) | | Cutting Width | 20 Centimeters | | Date First Available | August 17, 2012 | | Grip Type | Ergonomic | | Handle Material | Plastic,Steel,Resin | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Package Quantity | 1 | | Item Weight | 6.7 ounces | | Item model number | PH-165 | | Manufacturer | Tools & More | | Material | Plastic, Steel, Resin | | Number Of Pieces | 1 | | Part Number | PH-165 | | Product Dimensions | 8.35"L x 2.99"W | | Size | Total length 165 mm, tip thickness 2 mm | | Specific Uses For Product | Cutting | | Style | 1) 165mm | ## Product Details - **Brand:** 五十嵐プライヤー(Igarashi Plyer) - **Color:** Purple - **Cutting Width:** 20 Centimeters - **Grip Type:** Ergonomic - **Handle Material:** Plastic,Steel,Resin - **Item Weight:** 0.19 Kilograms - **Material:** Plastic, Steel, Resin - **Product Dimensions:** 8.35"L x 2.99"W - **Specific Uses For Product:** Cutting ## Images ![Igarashi IPS PH-165 Non-marring Plastic Jaw Soft Touch Slip Joint Pliers (Japan Import) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51vGP4F2-PL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Can anyone tell me how long the ips 165 softjaw pliers are? i need to work in a very small space.** A: 6-3/4" tip to handle end.
