Swanstrom Parallel-Action Fine Flat-Nose Pliers

These Swanstrom parallel-action fine flat-nose pliers (NR1669) offer an extra-secure grip on your workpiece or wire and are designed for the highest level of strength, durability and comfort. The pliers are parallel from pivot to tip and have flat interior surfaces and squared-off tips. Flat-nose pliers are ideal for making wider, broader bends in wire, for metal-forming, straightening and flattening sheet and wire, making angled bends and holding components. The fine jaws allow you to access close areas to make the desired bends. Parallel action pliers close first at the tips, then the rest of the jaws close as the pliers are squeezed. This ensures a strong, even grip on your workpiece.

• The compound joint keeps the jaws parallel as they open and close, and deliver even pressure along the entire length of the jaw, eliminating slipping. The knurled jaw stop allows you to achieve even, repeatable pressure with no over-extension of the tool.
• The double-leaf spring holds the pliers open and ready to use until they are squeezed closed and delivers a fast, strong rebound for improved productivity.
• The Soft-Touch sure-grip foam handles are longer, wider and ergonomically designed for maximum comfort over extended periods of use. All Swanstrom tool handles are latex free.This tool is made of high-carbon, high-chrome alloy steelthe highest quality tool steeland forged for the best combination of strength and durability.
