Parallel action flat nose pliers

The Unique compound joint design of our parallel action pliers allows the jaws to open and close parallel to one another. This makes them ideal for holding and gripping components and manipulating wire. Comes with anti-rust finish with bright nickel sealed handles and smooth fully heated treated black jaws for durability.

Parallel Action Pliers are the right choice when you need to hold an object still while applying pressure on it. Non parallel action pliers will let an object slop forward when pressure is applied. Non parallel action pliers will hold the object firmly even when the job calls for firm pressure.
My favorite general-purpose pliers are parallel-jaw pliers. They excel at crimping and grasping near the tips since they apply uniform pressure across the whole face. Since the jaw faces stay parallel, these pliers may be used in a pinch to hold or turn a small fastener without deforming its face. A small groove running down the center length of one jaw lets you use these pliers to tension cable or wire, and many models come with an effective wire cutter on the side.
