Screw Pin Removal Locking Pliers

The Screw/Pin Removal Locking Pliers are specialized locking pliers designed to securely grip and clamp onto screw heads, broken screws, and pins during removal procedures. Their uniquely shaped working jaws are designed to provide firm engagement with the object being removed, helping maintain a controlled grip during manipulation.

Two configurations are available: Standard and Small. The Standard configuration is intended for larger pins, screw heads, and broken screws, while the Small configuration features a smaller jaw size for gripping smaller screws and pins ranging from approximately 1.4 mm (.055") up to 2.4 mm (.095").

Both configurations have an overall length of 7.875" (20 cm).

Key Features

• Specialized locking plier design for screw and pin removal
• Designed to securely grip screw heads, broken screws, and pins
• Locking mechanism helps maintain the selected grip
• Available in Standard and Small jaw configurations
• Small configuration designed for approximately 1.4–2.4 mm (.055–.095") objects

Specialized Jaw Design

The working jaws are specifically shaped to provide secure engagement with the object being removed. The jaw profile allows the pliers to clamp onto areas such as a screw head, exposed portion of a broken screw, or pin.

The locking mechanism allows the jaws to remain clamped once the appropriate grip has been established, helping maintain engagement during removal.

Standard Configuration

The Standard configuration is designed for securely gripping larger pins, screw heads, and broken screws.

It has:

• 7.875" (20 cm) overall length
• 4 mm jaw width
• Standard-size working jaws
• Intended for larger screw and pin removal applications

Small Configuration

The Small configuration features a smaller working jaw designed for smaller screws and pins.

It is specified for gripping objects from approximately:

1.4 mm (.055") up to 2.4 mm (.095")

It also has:

• 7.875" (20 cm) overall length
• 4 mm jaw width
• Smaller jaw profile for smaller fasteners and pins

Locking Mechanism

The locking design allows the jaws to clamp onto the selected object and maintain the grip. This can help reduce the need for continuous manual squeezing while the object is being manipulated.

The locking function should be adjusted to establish an appropriate grip without applying unnecessary force to the screw, pin, or surrounding structure.

Jaw Size Selection

The two configurations are intended for different size requirements:

Selecting the appropriate jaw size can help provide suitable contact between the working jaws and the object being removed.

Applications

The Screw/Pin Removal Locking Pliers are designed to assist with:

• Screw head removal
• Broken screw removal
• Pin removal
• Gripping exposed screw heads
• Securing small or larger pins during removal
• Controlled manipulation of retained or damaged fasteners

The appropriate configuration should be selected according to the size and accessibility of the object being removed.

Controlled Removal

The specialized jaw design is intended to provide secure contact with the screw or pin during manipulation. Once the jaws are positioned correctly, the locking mechanism can maintain the grip while the instrument is used for controlled removal.

Careful positioning is important to ensure the jaws are properly engaged before applying rotational or pulling force.

Ergonomic Working Length

Both configurations have an overall length of 7.875" (20 cm). This provides a practical working reach while maintaining a compact enough profile for controlled handling.

The consistent length across both versions means that jaw size is the primary selection factor when choosing between the Standard and Small configurations.

Technical Specifications

Handling and Use Considerations

Select the jaw configuration according to the size of the screw, pin, or broken fastener being removed. Position the jaws securely around the accessible portion of the object before engaging the locking mechanism.

Avoid excessive force if the jaws are not properly seated. Before use, inspect the jaws, locking mechanism, and handles for proper operation and visible damage.

After use, follow the applicable cleaning, inspection, sterilization, maintenance, and storage procedures when the instrument is used in a surgical environment.
