Three Prong Adjusting Plier (Lap Joint)

Manufactured on a lap joint forging and measures approximately ½" shorter than the traditional Orthopli Box joint. The joint operates without washers or shims creating a smooth operation during use. Due to the tip size this instrument can be used chairside and used in the lab. It is recommended to form and adjust retainers on wire up to .036 diameter. The beaks have a parallel opening to eliminate slippage during use.
