Slim Weingart Pliers 12.5 cm – Hu-Friedy Style
Product Code: N21150377
Posterior Access Without Losing Your Grip on the Wire 
Guiding an archwire through a posterior bracket is harder when your instrument can’t quite angle into place, or when the grip slips at the wrong moment. The Slim Weingart Pliers 12.5 cm – Hu-Friedy Style are built for that exact situation: slim, tapered 20° angled tips with fine serrations give you a secure, stable hold on the wire while reaching areas a straight instrument can’t.
The refined slim profile improves visibility and maneuverability, so you can guide archwires through brackets and buccal tubes efficiently, chairside procedure after procedure.
Angled for Access, Built for the Long Run
Manufactured from premium stainless steel, these pliers offer durability, corrosion resistance and dependable performance through repeated sterilization cycles. The 20° angled working ends provide enhanced accessibility in areas where conventional straight instruments are difficult to use, giving orthodontic professionals excellent handling, comfort and reliability for everyday clinical procedures.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should I choose this 12.5 cm Hu-Friedy style or the 13 cm Ormco style version?
Both are Weingart pliers built for the same archwire placement and removal tasks. The choice comes down to the length and angled-tip profile you’re used to; compare the two product pages and pick the feel that matches your technique.
What does the slim 12.5 cm version give me over the standard Weingart Pliers 13 cm?
The slim profile and shorter length are designed to improve visibility and maneuverability in tighter working areas, particularly useful when you need the angled tips to reach posterior segments without a bulkier instrument in the way.
Is the 20° angle only useful for posterior teeth, or does it help anteriorly too?
The angled working tips are built mainly to improve access to posterior and difficult-to-reach areas. For straightforward anterior wire work, a straight-tip Weingart or utility plier may feel more natural, though this instrument still works there.
Will the serrated jaws damage or mark the archwire?
The fine serrations are designed to provide a secure, stable grip on the wire during placement and removal, not to cut or deform it. As with any serrated instrument, consistent, controlled handling is what keeps wire handling clean.
Is this an everyday staple, or only useful for specific cases?
If you place and remove archwires regularly, a Weingart-style plier is one of the instruments you’ll reach for constantly, and the slim angled design simply extends that everyday usefulness into posterior areas.
