Micro-Mark Titanium-Plated Truck Spreading Plier, HO & On30

Our highly-popular Truck Spreading Plier for HO and On30 model trains is available now for a limited time only with handsome black titanium plating, laser etching, and double-coated handles for comfort, durability and long life. Whether you are upgrading your model railroad tool set, or you are a first-time user, this premium-quality, precision plier will quickly become one of the most-used items in your collection.

Manufactured to precise tolerances, these hand-ground, individually produced pliers are designed to slip between opposite ends of the wheel axle and backside of truck journal boxes when the jaws are nearly closed. A special compression spring offers just the right amount of resistance when you squeeze the plier, gently spreading the truck journals apart and causing the wheel set to effortlessly slip from the truck. Re-installation of the wheel set is just as easy. Great for use with our Truck Tuner, (#82838, available separately). For HO and On30 standard gauge trucks only.br>
Installation of a wheel set it just as easy. Simply insert one axle tip into the back of a truck journal box and slip the pliers tip between the opposite ends of the axle. Spread the pliers open just enough to maneuver the opposite axle point into position. Release the pliers to seat the axle point. Works from either end of the cars or from the topside when the car is inverted into our soft touch cradles (80784 or 86612), sold separately.

Micro Mark Tip: Extremely helpful with use of our Truck Tuner # 82838 in cleaning and re-finishing the interior of truck journals.
