Jaws
Micro ToolClip jaws have a blunt nose profile. They open quite wide for their small size. There is also a relatively large wire cutter section. (bypass style) No hard wire notch is included.Being a solid handle design, the moveable jaw is integral with the plier handle.
Handle
The solid plier handle has a beveled tip which is intended to function as a prybar. Like the plier jaws, it has a darkened matte metallic finish.A plastic hook swivels up to prevent the handle from opening when not in use.
Frame
The frame consists of two panels of stainless steel sandwiched around the pliers and blades, held in place by a number of rivets. Tough plastic (in various colors) is overmolded onto the steel panels.MICRO TOOLCLIP is molded into one face of the plastic. There is a SOG logo molded into the pocket clip.
