XURON(R) Model 496 Split Ring Pliers open and hold split rings

A precision hand tool especially designed for opening a split ring and holding it to assemble all types of products without requiring multiple tools has been introduced by Xuron Corporation of Saco, Maine.

The XURON® Model 496 Split Ring Pliers is essentially a long nose pliers that features a curved catch tip and a notched tip that team up to grasp and open a split ring.  Designed for the sole purpose of opening a split ring and holding it, this special purpose tool eliminates the need for several tools to hold and pry a ring open for attachment and assembly.

Simplifying and speeding up the assembly process, the XURON® Model 496 Split Ring Pliers is suitable for all sizes of split rings down to #00.  This tool is made from high carbon steel that is heat treated, covered with non-slip Xuro-Rubber™ cushioned hand grips, and has a return spring. 

The XURON® Model 496 Split Ring Pliers is made in the USA and available through Authorized Xuron Distributors.
