HTS 164P0 6.25" Rounded Slotted Locking Pennington Forceps

Great for piercing. Easy to hold, clamps great, great quality.

Using hollow needles is so much better than those little ear piercing guns! This has helped a TON! I’m just a mom piercing my girls ears and this has been a life saver! The lock feature is way too tight! Others say they just tie a rubber band around it but I just gently pressed it against their ear while piercing it with my other hand. Worked great and so much cheaper than going to a professional tattoo parlor where it would have been $120 plus! Just make sure you get the right hollow needles and ear care like H2O spray for ears! No infections or any problems of the sort, just make sure to sanitize before use.

Very sturdy real quality metal

Works well! And worth the money! But was to big for what I needed it for!

A bit hard to open and lock the clamp, but otherwise good! Worked for what I needed it for.

I used these when I pierced my snake bites and they helped with placement.

They do what they’re intended. However, I find they are rather tight for body piercings. Some areas are ok, but most places, I cannot lock them in place without immense pain. I probably won’t be locking them ever, just using them to help me hold the skin. Also, I forgot when buying this time, but watch for the ridges on the clamp. I find these can be rather sharp around the slot area. I personally prefer clamps with as little texture as possible and depend on them being tight to stay in place(but still not this tight). Other than those two things, I have no issues and they work as advertised.

It was nice to have the option to lock these. They are nice and sturdy and easy to use.
