Parallel & Combination Pliers

Parallel pliers (also known as “parallel-action pliers”) are pliers where the jaws close parallel to each other, as opposed to the “scissor-action” used by traditional pliers. They use a box joint system, which allows the jaws to remain parallel to each other as they are opened and closed. They work just like other pliers, by applying pressure onto the handles to close the jaws. Some parallel pliers will have a return spring, which makes them self-opening for ease of use. Handles vary from traditional zinc-plated handles for extra grip to soft plastic grips designed to be more comfortable over longer periods.
