Key Features & Benefits

• Extra-Wide 12cm Serrated Jaws: The massive 12cm wide jaw distributes pulling force evenly across the fabric, preventing uneven tension, warping, or tearing of your precious artwork.

• Beveled Safety Edges: Specially designed with smoothly beveled inner edges and sure-grip serrated teeth. It grips the material firmly with zero slippage, yet ensures the sharp metal won't slice or damage the delicate canvas fibers.

• Ergonomic Soft-Grip Handles: The extended handles are coated in a premium, non-slip vinyl soft-grip material. It provides excellent comfort, absorbs hand fatigue, and works wonderfully well for users with larger hands.

• 2-in-1 Built-In Hammer Feature: Maximizes workshop efficiency! The heavy-duty flat side of the jaw housing can be utilized as a handy hammer to quickly tap in framing staples, tacks, or canvas keys without swapping tools.

• Effortless Leverage: Spring-loaded mechanism significantly reduces the gripping strength needed, making continuous, long-session framing tasks effortless and smooth.

⚠️ Operational Safety Warning & Tips

• Safety First: Not suitable for children under 3 years. For use under adult supervision only. Keep out of reach of small children due to mechanical pinch points.

• Pro-Framing Tip: When stretching raw or thin digital printed canvas, we recommend placing a small scrap piece of felt or leather between the pliers' teeth and the canvas to provide an extra layer of protection against ink scuffing.
