The Xuron 496AS Split Ring Pliers are precision specialty pliers designed for quickly opening and installing split rings used in electronics, jewelry, fishing tackle, and small hardware assembly. Featuring a curved catch-tip design, the tool easily opens the ring and securely holds it in place, allowing fast and controlled installation without distortion or damage.
Built with ESD-safe (static dissipative) cushioned grips, the 496AS provides added protection for sensitive electronic environments while maintaining comfort and control during detailed repetitive work. Its lightweight, ergonomic construction and smooth spring-action return improve efficiency and reduce hand fatigue in production or bench applications.
