All four spreaders include “Shark Tooth” removable tips with multifunctional design and four rows of shark-like teeth to grip any material. They also feature squeezing plates integrated directly into the arms of each spreader. The chart below provides specifics on just how much lighter and stronger each tool is than its predecessor.
