- Angled for Control-The tips are angled to securely hold the ring with a downward pressure, preventing the ring from slipping off.
- Hardened for Strength-The tips and jaws are made from two different materials, each optimized for its function. Hardened bearing steel is used for the tips to enhance shear strength.
- Crimped-In Cylindrical Tips-The tips are smooth, straight, and free of burrs to create a consistent, controlled grip on the ring. A crimp at the end of each jaw permanently holds the tips in place.
- Uncompromised Design for a Single Purpose-These pliers are built for a single, dedicated purpose. By keeping things simple and free of unnecessary features, they remain lean and optimized for the job. Just grab them and go-no adjustments, loose parts, or compromises.
- Secure Hold for Reduced Twisting-The combination of the outward angled tips and the flat surface at the base of the tips creates a very secure hold on the ring which reduces twisting and the risk of slipping off.
- Long, Slim Jaws for More Access-The long, slim jaws and compact joint allow you to reach deep into a cavity or bore.
- Spring-Loaded, Bolted Joint-The two forged handles are permanently bolted together and spring-loaded. The spring is oiled and housed inside the joint, keeping it hidden and protected while providing smooth, quiet operation. The joint is not adjustable or serviceable.
