What are the styles of universal pliers? Which one should I choose?
Gongmao is a professional manufacturer of universal pliers, and supplies this hand tool to the world. Since different countries have different usage habits, different handle styles have been developed. Gongmao offers 3 styles of handles to meet the preferences of customers from different countries.
American handlebar
The first universal pliers were invented by William S. Petersen, who came up with the idea of combining pliers and vises and added a locking system capable of providing greater leverage and torque. Because Peterson is American, this style is popular in the United States. That’s why we named this style the American handlebar.
European handlebar
The universal vise then spread to Europe and was found to be very helpful in clamping the workpieces together. Later, they developed their own style on the handle, and also because it became another handle style. Because it was developed in Europe, we call this style a European handlebar.
Easy Release Style
In order to provide users with a more convenient and comfortable experience, Gongmao has developed a revolutionary handle style with a soft grip and a loose tab-free design. The soft grip reduces vibration and hand fatigue, improves comfort and leverage, and avoids accidental slipping in use. The loose tab-free design protects your fingers or gloves from getting caught in the gap between the loose tabs and the lower handlebar. The main highlight of this model is its special mechanism that allows you to easily lock and release when increasing torque. Because of the ease of use of this design, we call this style “Easy Release Style”.
conclusion
All in all, although the handlebars are different in style, they all function the same. As for which handle style you should buy, it depends on which style you prefer or which style your target customers are used to.
