For nearly five years, Firenock has been dedicated to crafting a superior parallel plier. Today, we are proud to present the culmination of six generations of prototypes, meticulously hand-built and individually tested in Henry, Illinois, USA. The parts, sourced from Baoji, China, and Brass from Malaysia and Hong Kong, reflect our commitment to quality and precision.
Our US patent-pending parallel plier,is a product of innovation and exclusivity. It weighs in at 4.00 oz and boasts a maximum jaw opening of 0.525" or 13.5mm, surpassing any similar design on the market. The unique scissor handle, and other innovative features set it apart from the rest.
This plier consists of six CNC-machined GR5 titanium parts (four handle pieces and two jaw pieces), five sets of GR5 titanium mating screws, four sets of oil-impregnated machine brass screws, and a piano stainless steel wire retraction spring. (An industrial rubber band version will be available for those who demand a 100% nonmagnetic tool, such as in an MRI room or near high-power DC motors). The four mating titanium screws are individually hand-fitted and diamond ground for maximum tolerance control for a luxurious feel and precise operation.
Since all parts are corrosion-resistant, it will be great for those who love saltwater fishing and boating. We tested this capability by submerging it in saltwater outside under direct sun for over six months with no ill effect. A hook barb-flattering notch and sleeve crimp were built into the jaws for fishing use. For those interested in using this in the MRI room, we shall offer another version using an industrial rubber band instead of the piano wire retraction spring to eliminate any effect on the extreme magnetic field in MRI rooms. The current version will be great for electric cars and wind turbines where a reasonably large amount of magnet is present. Titanium and Brass will not be affected by magnetic fields.
We are designing and sourcing a hoster and lanyard for it, making it easier to carry and access in the field and preventing it from dropping and being lost. These accessories should be purchased separately or as a kit by Spring 2025.
It is now at a low introductory price. The MSRP with all the mentioned accessories is targeted at $350.00.
