Key features

  • One handle features machined grooves for improved grip and control during fine adjustments.
  • Overall length of 150 mm provides leverage whilst remaining manageable for bench work.
  • Suitable for adjusting hinges on titanium, acetate, and most metal alloy frames.

Who it's for
