Holbein #5 Canvas Pliers are the best money can buy. These heavy duty pliers are made of a lightweight molybdenum alloy and designed to give a secure non slip pull on the canvas and are the best tool available for stretching large canvas.
What is Molybdenum you ask?
Molybdenum is a silvery-white metal that is ductile and highly resistant to corrosion. It has one of the highest melting points of all pure elements. Molybdenum is also a micro-nutrient essential for life.Most commercial molybdenum is used in the production of alloys, where it is added to increase hardness, strength, electrical conductivity and resistance to wear and corrosion.
In comparison, the Chinese "knock offs" are made from cast aluminum and lack the strength of Molybdenum. Aluminum is brittle and much less durable.
Holbein #5 Pliers are forged in Japan by expert craftsmen and are of the highest quality and built to last!
These pliers make the job of stretching easier with wide and grippy rubber-lined 4 5/8" jaws. The spring-loaded handles open automatically, ready for the next grip. As well as being excellent for large-scale canvases, the pliers can also be used at an angle for smaller jobs.
