These double-hinged Compound Pliers from DEWALT amplify the amount of force generated from squeezing the handles, resulting in significantly more gripping and cutting power over conventional pliers. The handles are outfitted with bi-material grips for exceptional control and comfort, resulting in precise maneuverability and minimal fatigue. The pliers supply significantly more cutting and gripping power over standard pliers.  They are outfitted with bi-material handles for strong grip and comfort and the aggressive crosshatch tooth design offers enhanced gripping.  The chrome vanadium steel which they are constructed with ensures strength and durability.  The induction-hardened blades provide exceptional cutting performance and the locking mechanism keeps pliers clamped when not in use
