Otto Frei 4-1/2" Bent Nose Prong Pulling Pliers-German Made

The Otto Frei 4-1/2" Bent Nose Prong Pulling Pliers are a modified chain-nose design engineered specifically for controlled prong lifting. The lower jaw is grooved to cradle and support the prong during the lift, while the upper jaw is slightly cut back and hooked to catch securely under the tip of the prong as it rests against the stone. This geometry gives the setter precise, repeatable leverage with reduced risk of marring the prong or stone. Recommended for prongs up to 1.50 mm thick. Made in Germany.

Features

• Bent, hooked upper jaw for secure purchase under the prong tip
• Grooved lower jaw supports the prong while lifting
• Precise control for opening prongs with reduced marring risk
• Suitable for prongs up to 1.50 mm thick
• Made in Germany

Applications

• Opening prongs for stone removal, retipping, or inspection
• Works well on most settings where a hooked jaw improves access over a standard chain-nose profile
