This is a very handy tool for every laboratory that works with 1/16'' Stainless Steel Tubing. These Tubing Pliers / Tubing Straightener has soft grips and a Center Hole that is slightly larger than 1/16'' that is designed to remove kinks or bends in tubing or for making seamless bends when you squeeze the Pliers. This will help to insure a good internal flow path in your HPLC tubing and a void problems due to bent or kinked tubing. The Beta Tool™ can also be used as precision pliers.
