Rio Grande German Slimline Flat-Nose Pliers

These compact, premium-quality flat-nose pliers have a slim design and smaller size that makes them ideal for delicate tasks and close bench work. On flat-nose pliers, both jaws are flat, and the smooth interior surface helps reduce the risk of marring delicate pieces; they are great for making wider, broader bends in wire, metal-forming, straightening and flattening out metal, making angled bends in metal and holding components. 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 remain comfortable, even over hours of work.
