The original Facom 500 locking pliers series was a remarkable, innovative departure from the standard and still by far the most popular locking pliers design, the iconic Vise Grips. Facom has now come out with the updated 500A series.
“This product innovates mainly by the release trigger situated on the lower grip of the pliers, simplifying and securing its use. It releases the pliers when closed. While most pliers require an important release strength, the 500A range ensures work is performed smoothly and virtually without effort. The 5-position slotted opening system is the second key element of this product’s evolution, offering significant time gain by opening the pliers instantly when pressing the grips. Adjustment is very prompt any type of part.”
Apparently this is a translation from the original French.
