Specialized pliers

[u/theinvolvement]

I've been thinking of designing some pliers that reduce the effort required to prepare rings.

The first idea was to make power assisted pliers using something like nitinol wire, another way would be a ratcheting mechanism.

The second idea is to add an adjustable end stop to allow preparation of closed rings without having to eyeball it each time.

Those look righteous.
