Description: |
| The thin curved shape and "bird beak" action of these pliers was to insert patch plugs in pneumatic bicycle tires and tubes, without enlarging the puncture, or disengaging the plug while removing the pliers. The inner jaw is longer, and acts as the "leader" to guide the plug into place. |
