Swedging pliers are a classic woodwind repair tool: the holes fit over key hinge tubes and rods on saxophones, flutes and clarinets, so you can gently swedge (lengthen) a hinge tube to take up end play and stop keys from rattling or wobbling. The same jaws also hold round wire and small tube securely for shaping, bending and straightening in jewellery and metalwork.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe parallel action spreads the pressure evenly along the jaw so the work is not crushed or pinched, and the adjustable screw lets you set the jaw opening for better control.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGraduated swedging holes:\u003c\/strong\u003e several sizes to suit different hinge tubes, rods and wire\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eParallel action:\u003c\/strong\u003e even pressure for controlled, accurate work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdjustable screw\u003c\/strong\u003e for better control of the jaw opening\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStrong steel body\u003c\/strong\u003e with spring return for easy one-handed use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e160mm length\u003c\/strong\u003e gives good leverage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChoose the hole that best fits the hinge tube, rod or wire.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSet the adjustable screw so the jaws close to the size you need.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSqueeze gently and rotate a little at a time, checking the fit as you go.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIdeal For\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSaxophone, flute, clarinet and other woodwind key repair\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTaking up end play in key hinge tubes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJewellery wire shaping and smooth bending\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGripping and forming small metal parts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMetalwork, craft and watch repair\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand: NS Crafts®\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: Parallel action swedging pliers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOverall length: 160mm (6.25\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJaws: graduated swedging holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdjustment: adjustable screw\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition: brand new\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCountry of origin: Pakistan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDelivery\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFree UK tracked delivery, dispatched within 1 working day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eColour may vary.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tools Master UK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58100276461948,"sku":"TMUK-PP-035","price":19.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0558\/7861\/5124\/files\/SwedgingPlier1_jpg.jpg?v=1793636932","url":"https:\/\/toolsmasteruk.co.uk\/en-eu\/products\/parallel-action-swedging-pliers-160mm","provider":"Tools Master UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
