This simple to use parallel plier reduces repetitive wrist motion and saves time because it creates several zig-zags all at once. Simply place the wire in the jaw and squeeze - instantly you have one inch of uniform zig-zag design. Move the wire over to easily continue the zig-zag pattern in the desired length. Use on 20 gauge or lighter soft wire, 24 gauge or lighter soft metal blanks and even stringing wire! Head and jaws are made of high grade steel for years of use. Length 5-1/4" (135mm).
