Tekton Mini Flat Nose Pliers Smooth Jaw 5-1/8"L

Description

Features

Broad flat jaws - made for sure handling of thin parts and sheet stock the broad flat jaws have large contact faces that hold workpieces much 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 you to start a bend at an exact spot and form crisp corners. To ensure the tip can consistently grasp the thinnest parts the base of the jaws is relieved with a small gap (0.3 mm +/- 0.1 mm) to prevent contact that would keep the tips from closing tightly together

Smooth jaws - designed for jewelry model making and other delicate work the faces of the jaws are smooth and flat to safely grasp soft metals and finished parts without marring sensitive surfaces

Recessed coil spring - gently assisting the opening action of the pliers the long-arm coil spring is neatly tucked between handles so it won't get in the way or be accidentally dislodged. The spring itself has a relaxed opening angle of 137 degrees-nearly twice the opening angle of the pliers-so it stays properly tensioned when the pliers are fully opened. Coiled twice it achieves the right balance of the force required to open the pliers with that required to close them greatly improving overall control and reducing hand fatigue

Wide profile handles - generous in overall size the handles have a wide flat profile that creates a large contact area for fingertips to comfortably rest and exert exacting control. Slim vinyl grips add a bit of cushion and a nonslip surface without being bulky

Custom-engineered alloy - formulated for key performance characteristics our pliers are made from a custom-engineered steel alloy with a high carbon content that strikes an ideal balance between machinability and toughness in its final hardened state (44 - 48 HRC). This allows for precise machining of tips and edges strong well-formed teeth high ha
