Ainsworth-Style Revolving Punch Pliers, 17cm Stainless Steel, with Storage Pouch
These Ainsworth-style punch pliers provide a simple, effective method for creating clean, precise holes in thin, flexible materials. The revolving turret head allows you to quickly select the desired punch size, while the plier action offers excellent control and leverage for a clean cut without tearing.
Manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel, these pliers are resistant to corrosion and can be fully sterilised in an autoclave. At 17 cm in length and weighing approximately 140g, they offer a good balance of power and manoeuvrability for detailed work. The tool is supplied with a simple pouch to protect the punch head during storage.
While designed for dental applications, these pliers are also well-suited for:

- Jewellers and craftspeople punching precise holes in thin leather or fabric.
