Product Details
These pliers are angled for control, featuring tips angled to securely hold rings with downward pressure to prevent slipping. The tips and jaws are made from two different materials optimized for their functions, with hardened bearing steel used for the tips to enhance shear strength. The crimped-in cylindrical tips are smooth, straight, burr-free, and permanently held in place by crimps at the end of each jaw, providing a consistent, controlled grip on the ring. Designed for a single dedicated purpose, the pliers maintain a simple, lean construction without adjustments or loose parts, allowing immediate use. The combination of outward angled tips and a flat surface at their base creates a secure hold to reduce twisting and slipping risks. Long, slim jaws and a compact, spring-loaded bolted joint enable deep access into cavities or bores; the joint is oil-lubricated, hidden, permanently bolted, non-adjustable, and non-serviceable. The tool is suitable for internal ring sizes (bore ID) from 1-3/4 to 3 inches (ASME) and external ring sizes (shaft OD) from 1-1/2 to 2-1/2 inches (ASME). Broad, forged handles widen in the center and are coated with vinyl grips for improved control and comfort. The tip size and function are clearly laser-marked on the pliers for quick reference. The roll design keeps the pliers securely in place, preventing sliding out while allowing quick access, and the tool features durable polyurethane-backed handles. The product comes with a warranty backed by the manufacturer’s terms.
