The patented Expand-O Pliers are high-performance, reverse-action locking pliers designed to push materials apart rather than squeezing them together. Forged from heat-treated alloy steels, they feature dual self-adjusting v-pads that instantly mold to flat, round, or angled work geometries without slipping. An integrated bottom magnetic v-pad firmly anchors the weight of the tool vertically or horizontally to steel plates or welding tables, delivering hands-free fixturing so your hands remain free to position, clamp, or weld your workpieces. This versatile specialty tool is an essential addition to any welding shop, mechanical garage, or woodworking studio, delivering 500 to 900 pounds (227 to 408 kg) of spreading force. Whether you are fitting tight brackets, aligning pipe joints, spreading compressed suspension tabs, correcting over-bends, or separating frozen joints, the Expand-O series provides unmatched mechanical precision and acts as your ultimate "third hand" on the job.
