Pliers, Straight Tip

The straight-tip ball link plier is more specialized than the curved-tip and are essential to the reach the 5% of ball links you just can't get to with curved-tip pliers.

Equipped with inline bores in the jaws, the small bore can be used to grasp pushrods down to 2mm in diameter without marring and the larger bore can be used to grasp 3-4mm flybars without marring.  They also are equipped with serrated surface at the very inside of the jaw for grasping when marring is less important than the grip on the part.
