Wicks offers Adel pliers

By Janice Wood · March 21, 2011 ·

Now available at Wicks Aircraft are Adel pliers.

Adel clamps are used to secure wires and tubes to engine mounts and the airframe, avoiding chafing or interference with moving parts. The clamps are metal strips that are drilled at both ends and the inside of the clamps are lined with rubber. Unfortunately, they can be very difficult and time consuming to install, according to Wicks officials.

With a set of Adel pliers, however, the perspective changes and the task of installation becomes quick and easy, officials note. The tool clamps the entire assembly together and leaves the hardware holes line up for bolting. Wicks Aircraft Supply is offering Adel clamp pliers for $35 a set.
