Description
Flat Nose Plier Parallel Action
These parallel action pliers have jaws that stay parallel as they close. As a result, they grip evenly along the full jaw, not just at the tip.
Why parallel jaws
Ordinary pliers close in an arc, so they grip harder at the back. By contrast, parallel jaws apply even pressure. Therefore round wire and flat parts stay put.
Size
At 18 cm, the pliers give firm leverage. Meanwhile, the compound mechanism keeps the jaws aligned. It suits medium wire and hardware.
Who uses parallel action pliers
Trauma surgeons grip and bend wire with them. Also, scrub staff use them to hold small parts. Plate and wire work both benefit.
Even pressure
Because pressure is even, wire does not roll. Consequently, bends come out cleaner. That helps with precise shapes.
Maintenance
The parallel mechanism has extra joints. Therefore clean and oil it carefully. A smooth action lasts longer.
Holding plates and fittings
Even pressure also helps with small plates and hardware. Moreover, the parallel jaws keep them from rotating. Therefore the pliers double as a holding tool.
