Corrosion-Resistant Wire-Forming Pliers


Choose these stainless steel pliers for environments where moisture and other contaminants are present. They resist corrosion that can hinder joint movement, but the jaws will wear more quickly than a steel tool. Also known as round-nose pliers, use them for looping and bending wire. They have plastic, static-dissipative grips that drain static away from your application, preventing buildup from electrostatic discharge (ESD) that can damage sensitive equipment. The jaws are spring assisted to open automatically when you release the handles.
