DESIGN & ERGONOMICS
Slim heads, five-position push-button adjustment and pinch protection are unusually well resolved for awkward, confined fastener recovery.
LONGEVITY
Box-joint construction and oil-hardened steel favor long service. All three are individual catalog tools; clean teeth and adjustment tracks after dirty work.
