Product Details
The kit features broad, flat jaws designed for sure handling of thin parts and sheet stock, with large contact faces that hold workpieces more securely than fine-tipped pliers and provide extra control and leverage for pulling, positioning, or bending. The straight, 90-degree edges along the sides and tip allow starting a bend at an exact spot to form crisp corners, while the base of the jaws is relieved with a small gap of 0.3 mm ± 0.1 mm to prevent contact that would inhibit the tips from closing tightly. The smooth jaws are designed for delicate work such as jewelry and model making, with flat faces that safely grasp soft metals and finished parts without marring sensitive surfaces. A recessed coil spring gently assists the opening action, being neatly tucked between handles to avoid accidental dislodgement; it features a relaxed opening angle of 137 degrees, which is nearly twice the pliers' opening angle, maintaining proper tension when fully opened. The spring is coiled twice to balance the force needed to open and close the pliers, improving control and reducing hand fatigue. The wide profile handles have a generous overall size with a wide, flat profile creating a large contact area for fingertips to rest comfortably and exert precise control, while slim vinyl grips provide cushioning and a nonslip surface without bulk. The pliers are made from a custom-engineered steel alloy with high carbon content that balances machinability and toughness in its hardened state of 44 to 48 HRC, allowing precise machining of tips and edges and strong performance.
