Sklar Merit Laboratory and Office Pliers 121
A serrated jaw general purpose plier, pattern 121, used in dental laboratory and clinical settings for a range of gripping, holding and bending tasks.
The Sklar Merit Laboratory and Office Pliers, pattern 121, is a general purpose hand tool with a serrated jaw used across a range of gripping, holding and light bending tasks in a dental laboratory or clinical setting. Unlike pliers designed for a single specific procedure, this pattern is intended for everyday use wherever a firm, reliable grip is needed on wire, small components or other materials during general laboratory or chairside work.
The serrated jaw surface helps prevent slipping when holding round or irregularly shaped objects, making the plier a versatile addition to a dental laboratory bench. Technicians and clinicians commonly keep a tool like this on hand for miscellaneous tasks that arise during the working day, rather than reaching for a more specialised instrument for every small job.
Constructed from hardened stainless steel, the plier holds its serrated grip through years of general use and can be sterilised or cleaned between applications as needed. It is a standard item in dental laboratory kits and general clinical instrument sets used across dental practices.
