Fit and buying advice
The compact handle helps where space is limited. Compare a longer spinning plier if your fingers crowd a taller post. The catalog also identifies a half-hitch tool on this model.
Questions about this tool
Which part turns?
The connection between the jaws and grip lets the grip move as you guide the feather.
Does the rubber cover both jaws?
The catalog specifies tubing on one jaw. The other jaw completes the contact on the stem.
When would I choose a plain ring plier?
Compare the ring if you use a direct wrapping motion and prefer fewer moving parts.
