198 Series Duckbill Smooth Jaw Pliers..........This tool is a favorite among
those in the know in the Heating & Air Conditioning
industry.....great for straightening the fins on heat exchangers.
The wide, flat, smooth jaws and tips are thin enough to insert
between the core fins to straighten them for optimum performance
and appearance. Works great on automotive heat
exchangers....radiators, AC condensers, oil coolers, heater
cores, intercoolers, etc.
For some reason, Facom
discontinued production of these smooth jaw pliers in lieu of
newer versions with serrated jaws for better grip. I have yet to
find a suitable replacement. Unfortunately, the jaw striations of
the newer pliers are damaging to the soft core materials,
typically copper/brass or aluminum. I was fortunate to be able to
purchase the remaining worldwide stock of these
pliers..........only 6 sets remaining.
- Overall length - 190mm
(7.5")
- Nose length - 70mm
(2.75")
- Flexible smooth jaws for
handling delicate components
- Polished chrome finish
("CPY" series) for maximum protection from
oxidation. Nicest aesthetics.
- Black comfort grips.
