Pliers

When building the shock absorbers, it is important that the piston rods remain scratch-free. If you hold the piston rod with a normal pair of pliers, you will cause slight scoring / scratches on the piston rod. These scratches can destroy the seal in the damper during compression. The result is a leaking damper. That is why there are pliers made of aluminum with a recess for the piston rod. Aluminum is softer than steel and does not leave scratches. So that the piston rod can still be gripped well, the pliers enclose almost the entire piston rod. If aluminum is still too hard for you, you can also use the enclosed nylon inserts. These are guaranteed to leave no marks. With the three different sized recesses, the pliers can be used for all common shock absorbers in 1:12, 1:10 and 1:8 scale.

The TC Shock Pliers are for use with 1/12, 1/10 and 1/8 scale shocks and are made from lightweight aluminum material and finished with a silky titanium anodize. The pliers feature a "nutcracker" style construction which eliminates any hard or sharp edges that could potentially cause damage. This style also provides increased leverage while providing the user with a direct feel for the amount of pressure being applied.The TC Shock Pliers aren't only for shock shafts; the pliers feature the ability to also capture shock bodies! Just secure your 1/10 or 1/8 scale shock body into the pliers and tighten down the shock cap. No more shock building headaches or slippery shock fluid ruining your grip. As a bonus, the pliers also feature the ability to pop the shock end pillow ball in and out of place thanks to the ingenious stepped post built into the pliers. The stepped post fits 1/10 and 1/8 scale ball sizes.
