You're going to want these if you've ever fought a damp canvas that just won't stay taught—the serrated jaws grab and hold fabric without tearing, even on heavy linen, which basically makes the whole process a lot less frustrating.
The working width is 122mm (4.8 inches) and the total length is 20cm (7.87 inches), with a spring mechanism that's a leaf spring—so there's a decent snap to teh action when you release the pressrue on the PVC handle.
We usually see these in the metal finish with that electroplated surface, silver-colored, and at 0.4kg (0.88 lbs) they're light enough to use for a few hours but heavy enough to feel solid in your hand.
And one thing to note: these are specifically for stretching oil painting canvases, not for securing stapled edges or other heavy framing work where you need a bigger bite. It's better than using basic pliers for this, for sure.
(Usually our company have stock on the ART-PLIER-12SS) but if you're ordering in bulk, say 50 units or so, you'll want to confirm lead time—it can vary by a week or so depending on warehose.
20cm form tip to end, so it'll fit in most tool rolls without sticking out, though serious painters often buy two so they can work both sides of a frame at once.
The working width is 122mm (4.8 inches), which means the jaws can grip that span of canvas for even tensioning.
We don't enforce a strict MOQ — you can order just one pair if you need it for personal use.
For standard orders, we ship within 3-5 business days after payment confirmation.
Yes, we can provide a material test certificate for the stainless steel and a general quality inspection report on request.
Keep them in a dry place, ideally in a tool pouch or box, and wipe off any moisture after use — the electroplating helps, but it's not invincible.
