Rio Grande German Flat-Nose Pliers

These premium-quality German flat-nose pliers are a first-rate general-use tool, suitable for all types of bench tasks, including making wider, broader bends in wire, metal-forming, straightening and flattening out metal, making angled bends in metal and holding components. On flat-nose pliers, both jaws are flat; the smooth interior surface helps reduce the risk of marring delicate pieces. These mid-sized pliers are ideal for general bench work. Manufactured from the finest Swedish tool steel, this tool is preferred for its precision, comfort and uncompromising quality.• These pliers have a box joint; one half of the joint surrounds the other half, and the pivot is contained within. This joint holds its alignment far longer than a lap joint but allows the tool to open only as far as the box size.• The double-leaf spring consists of flat, tempered metal tabs attached to the inside of each of the tool handles, positioned to meet and hold the handles apart (and the jaws open) until they are squeezed closed, delivering a fast, strong rebound for improved productivity.• The plastic-dipped handles stay comfortable, even over hours of work.
