Expanding Pliers for Soft Tubing

Closed

Stretch the end of plastic and rubber tubing to make room for fittings with the same or slightly larger diameter. Insert the tips into tubing and squeeze the handles to open the jaws. Made of stainless steel, these pliers resist corrosion, and they can be sterilized to prevent contaminating tubing lines.
