No. 21-25 JLS Swedging Pliers

Of hardened stainless steel, our JLS Swedging Pliers are ideal for rounding and fitting hinge tubes to their rods, and to elongate a hinge tube to fit between its posts without end play.

These pliers come in an array of sizes to properly accommodate the complete range of hinge tube sizes available on woodwind instruments.

Working surfaces of the jaws are well polished so that the pliers are ready for use upon arrival.  (Please continue to polish the jaws occasionally to ensure the ultimate finish on the keys, and the best working condition for the pliers).
