Split Ring Opening Pliers

SPLIT RING PLIERS

These pliers are used for opening split rings.

Split rings, most commonly found on keychains, are typically used in craft projects, and in fishing lures and tackle. Most of the time, a lone split ring will be relatively easy to open. However if you have a project that involves a large number of split rings you will soon end up with broken fingernails and sore finger tips.

These pliers make the repetitive job of opening many split rings a breeze. Split ring pliers are very easy to use – simply open the pliers, place the ring against the straight jaw, and then close the pliers. The hooked perpendicular jaw will then wedge the split ring open. The pliers can be removed once the open end of the ring is slid through its intended attachment point.
