The saw blade is replaceable, extending the life of the tool.
The pliers are made of machined tool steel, with a brushed finish that reduces glare and increases safety; the saw blade is made of tough, rust-resistant stainless steel.
• These pliers have a sturdy box joint; one half of the joint surrounds the other half and the pivot is contained within. This joint holds its alignment far longer than a lap joint but allows the tool to open only as far as the box size.
