Omega Technologies CRP2979U Hog Nose Collar Removal Pliers, similar to the standard Omega Technologies CRP100 Collar Removal Pliers, offer a more aggressive offset of about 60 degrees. The jaw serrations on the Omega Technologies CRP2979U Hog Nose Collar Removal Pliers are perpendicular to the collar seating surface when the handles are laid flat, but angle at 3 degrees if the flat part of the head is rested on the collar seating surface. Omega Technologies offers 2 styled of pliers that are both best suited to small collars. From our experience, Omega Technologies CRP2979U Hog Nose Collar Removal Pliers do not work as well with large collars, or steel/titanium collars where greater gripping force is required to achieve the required break away torque. We recommend Savi Socket® style sockets fitted to a standard hand ratchet for more difficult collars, and will usually offer far superior results.
