Irwin Vise-Grip 8 in. Multi Tool Wire Stripper, Cutter and Crimper
Three jobs in one plier. Stripping notches sized to common wire gauges, a cutter, and a crimping section for insulated and non-insulated terminals, so a run of terminations happens without swapping tools.
Barcode 038548088495 is IRWIN stock 2078309, which IRWIN lists at 8 in. Earlier copy on this page gave the length as 8.5 in. and then described a diagonal cutting plier, which is a different tool entirely. Both corrected.
Nickel chromium steel with ProTouch grips. IRWIN backs these with a lifetime limited warranty against defects in material and workmanship.

Questions
Is it 8 in. or 8.5 in.?
Eight. IRWIN lists stock 2078309 at 8 in. and the barcode on this listing matches that stock number.
Which terminals will it crimp?
The crimping section takes common insulated and non-insulated terminals. For anything the connector manufacturer specifies a controlled-cycle tool for, use their tool. A general plier crimp is not a substitute where a spec calls one out.
Is it insulated?
No. ProTouch grips are for comfort, not electrical protection. Keep these off live conductors and use a tool rated to IEC 60900 for that work.
