The male half of the 6mm torquing plier pair. Torquing pliers are used in male and female pairs: one holds the wire while the other applies the twist, so torque is placed between two fixed points rather than along an unsupported span.

- Used with the matching female plier to place controlled torque

FAQs
Do I need both the male and female plier?
Yes. Torque is applied between the pair, one gripping and one twisting. A single plier cannot control the bend on its own.
How should the plier be cared for?
Clean and dry it fully before autoclaving, and keep the joint free of debris. Wire-bending pliers last longest when they are not used as cutters, which rounds the beaks and shortens their working life.
What material is this instrument made from?
It is made from hardened Japanese-standard (JIS) SUS 410J1 stainless steel and withstands repeated autoclave sterilisation.
