Orthodontic-Grade Flat Nose Utility Pliers, 14 cm with Box Joint and Pouch
These flat nose utility pliers offer precise control for delicate gripping and bending tasks. Originally designed for orthodontic work, their construction from stainless steel ensures they can be fully sterilised, making them suitable for environments where cleanliness is critical.
The box joint construction prevents the jaws from twisting under load, maintaining alignment for consistent pressure. The inner jaw surfaces are ground smooth to grip components securely without scratching or marring, essential when working with soft metals or finished parts. The ergonomic handles are designed for comfort during repetitive use.
Ideal for jewellers forming wire and sheet, watchmakers handling delicate movement parts, or model engineers bending small brass and copper components. They also serve as general-purpose utility pliers for any precision assembly or repair task.
