SoftJaw Pliers

These non-marring Soft Jaw Pliers are ideal for securing and removing Ø1/2" to Ø2" Lens Tubes. Four locking adjustment positions let the pliers accept a wide range of cylindrical objects from Ø1/2" to Ø2.5". Additionally, the smooth, urethane jaw allows the pliers to grip objects without causing damage.

The 10X B & L triplet is still the best loupe for my money with almost no distortion on the edges and clean crisp focus. Larger diameter loupes just have distortion on the edges, the area in focus is always the same from loupe to loupe for triplets of any make or manufacture. You can't change the law of optics!

Thorlabs offers the TGP1 Soft Jaw Pliers for tightening or loosening lens tubes, optical posts, and delicate assemblies. These pliers are recommended for cylinders with diameters from 1/2" to 2.5".
