jasper65 6 Posted December 9, 2007 Report Share Posted December 9, 2007 These are a nice pair of pliers JRB! I have had a pair off Craig for a few years now and used them to fit a good few pairs of Anklets on birds, I expected them to slowly squeeze together when you apply the presure on the handles but nope they're pretty sturdy and made in Germany. Here's the link to the website if not he goes on Ebay under the user name Gos6, he could well have some pairs on there .....

trappa 517 Posted December 9, 2007 Report Share Posted December 9, 2007 Just adding my tuppence worth but i dont rate the plier type. I got some and the anklets came off two days running. I ended up going back to the old faithful twist type. Quote Link to post
jasper65 6 Posted December 9, 2007 Report Share Posted December 9, 2007 I know what you're saying trappa and I have had the same in the past! but when Craig had the dies made up for the different size eyelets he gave me a pair before putting them on the market and they wern't quite the finnished product. I tried them on different thickness leathers but they wasn't quite closeing completley with the Eyelet washer still spinning on the anlklet! all they needed is a bit more taking off the die that does the crimping to allow them to close tighter, anyway with trial and error they now meet up perfect and crimp the eyelets like a twist closeing tool, I have used them now for a few years as standard on a fair amount of birds without a problem, you can also apply alot of pressure to the handles without any problems ....
