Precision Parallel-Action Jaws: Unlike standard pivot pliers, the jaws remain perfectly parallel throughout the entire range of motion, ensuring a secure, uniform, and non-tapering grip across the entire workpiece. Non-Marring Brass Jaw Liners: Features a specialized brass jaw lining on the inside of the flat jaws to protect delicate materials like soft metals (gold, silver, copper), coated wire, plastic, and polished surfaces from scratches, nicks, or distortion. Ideal 5.5" Compact Size: The overall length of 5.5" (140 mm) provides an optimal balance of leverage for bending and shaping, while maintaining excellent control and maneuverability for fine, detailed work. Effortless Spring-Action Handle: Integrated return spring automatically opens the pliers after each use, significantly reducing hand fatigue and making repetitive tasks like chain-making, wire straightening, and component holding much faster and more comfortable. Versatile Flat Nose Design: Perfect for a wide range of tasks including firmly holding small parts, straightening wire, forming sharp bends in sheet metal, opening and closing jump rings, and securing components without damaging the finish.
