Which tool is used for gripping without excessive pressure?

The tool that is used for gripping without excessive pressure is the Parallel Action Pliers. These pliers are designed to provide a smooth and even grip on objects, making them ideal for delicate tasks where applying too much force could damage the material being gripped. The mechanics of parallel action allow the handles to move in parallel motion, ensuring consistent pressure throughout the length of the jaws. This feature is especially useful in veterinary settings, where precision is often crucial, such as in grasping soft tissue or small tools without crushing them.

In contrast, other options like the Pin Grip and the Lowman Bone Clamp are better suited for specific applications that require greater gripping strength or different methods of application, which may not permit gentle handling. For example, the Pin Grip generally focuses on securing pins tightly, and the Lowman Bone Clamp is utilized for holding bone fragments together during surgical procedures, requiring a firmer grip. The Small Pin Vice, while useful for gripping small items securely, may not provide the controlled, gentle pressure needed in situations where excessive force must be avoided.
