Overview
The Hot Racing Aluminum Multi-Function Pliers are an essential pit bag tool for any serious RC racer or hobbyist. CNC-machined from 6061 aluminum and finished with durable black anodizing, these pliers are designed to safely grip shock shafts and ball ends without scratching, marring, or damaging your hardened components — the kind of damage that ruins shock seals and shortens part life.
Beyond simple shock work, the integrated ball-end installer makes shock disassembly and maintenance dramatically easier. Whether you're rebuilding shocks at the track or maintaining your fleet at home, this tool keeps the job clean, fast, and safe for your gear.
