Howe Utility Pliers with Curved Jaws, 14 cm Stainless Steel
These 14 cm Howe utility pliers are designed for the precise manipulation of fine wires and small components. The long, slender jaws are curved to provide excellent access and a secure, non-slip grip in confined spaces, making them a versatile addition to any precision toolkit.
Manufactured from clinical-grade AISI stainless steel, these pliers offer robust resistance to corrosion and rust. They are fully autoclavable, ensuring they can be repeatedly sterilised to meet stringent hygiene requirements without degrading.
Primary applications include orthodontics for placing arch-wires, jewellery making for shaping findings, and model engineering for handling delicate parts.
