Irwin Vise-Grip 9 in. Iron Worker's Pliers
Built for tying rebar. The jaws are machined with cross-hatched teeth so they hold tie wire while it is twisted, instead of letting it spin in the jaws the way a smooth-faced plier does.
Nickel chromium steel with an induction hardened cutting edge, which is the part that goes blunt first on a plier used all day on wire. ProTouch grips.
IRWIN backs these with a lifetime limited warranty against defects in material and workmanship.

Questions
How is it different from a lineman's plier?
The jaw teeth are cross-hatched rather than straight, so wire will not spin while you twist it. That one difference is the whole reason the tool exists.
Is it insulated?
No. The ProTouch grips are for comfort, not for electrical protection. Do not use these on live conductors.
