Launce Barber and Tom Stokes designed the Zilla-Tool Jr. for Columbia River Knife & Tool® as part of the I.D. Works line. The pliers feature spring-loaded jaws with a slight needlenose taper; a wire cutter is located at the base of the pliers, and there's also a notch near the handle for wire stripping. To open the knife blade quickly, simply press the "flipper," which also acts as a guard when the blade is open.
