How to Use Ball Link Pliers
Ball link pliers look similar to needle-nose pliers, with a pointed end that is used to grab hold of things. However, the ball link pliers' ends are forked. Ball link pliers are generally used by hobbyists to remove plastic links from a ball joint. One of the ball link pliers' ends is forked deeper than the other end to assist in the removal and replacement of the object from the ball joint.
