New Iron Workers (Rebar) Pliers from BAHCO North America Offer Tool Users Best of Both Worlds - Metal and Gripping Handles

SCRANTON, Pa., March 25, 2004 - Form meets function with BAHCO North America's new Iron Workers (Rebar) Pliers. This new tool, ideally suited for tying wire around reinforcement bars during construction tasks, features a polished metal handle and a two-component, extra wide gripping handle. The pliers' unique design lets users easily slide and position their fingers for a twisting grip during challenging pulling tasks, while maintaining comfort and control in the palm of their hand. The BAHCO® brand Iron Workers (Rebar) Pliers (product code #2753-9) also offers superior cutting power through the unit's jaws. High-quality steel and deep serrations provide a superior grip on materials, offering precision results for on-the-job pulling and twisting tasks. Tool users will feel the ultimate in both comfort and control thanks to the pliers' design. The unit's joints are built smooth for ease of operation, and an exclusive on-off return function gives the user the option to engage the pliers' spring mechanism if desired. Additionally, the extra wide gripping handle is built to comfortably keep the user's hand in place while the fingers can freely slide on the metal handle. Finally, the incorporation of a metal handle, as opposed to a second molded handle, allows minimal friction when the user's fingers slide to the back of the unit - creating the optimal twisting grip needed for tasks such as tying wires around reinforcement bars that lay the foundation for new structures.
