🖌️ Canvas Stretching Pliers by Looneng: Aluminum Alloy Clamp for Oil Painting Stretching Review

I bought them to stretch canvases on rails for painting by numbers. I ended up using my hands as the canvas was too small to do a true gallery stretch (not the fault of those pliers). If you're stretching a 16" x 20" canvas, you'll probably be more comfortable using pliers with smaller jaws. For everything else, especially if you have at least three inches of extra canvas margins, these pliers will likely be used. I will keep them for future use.

I bought a 48" x 48" painting on a roll in China. Made a frame and used it to pull it up while I attached it to the frame. You showed me how to do it and the thing worked great. First of all adorable! There are no teeth to tear the canvas. Didn't have to pull hard but the canvas looks flat. I'm glad I bought these large toothless pliers. I had no problems with the nib and have grabbed this large canvas many times.

Well made at a good price! I've seen smaller ones than these retail for almost double the price at my local art supply store. I take an art class and needed a pair of pliers so I could sculpt canvases at home instead of in the classroom. It was the perfect choice! They made the job a lot easier. The handles are not very comfortable on their own, but are still nice and firm in the hand. If you are looking for stretch mark pliers, I would go for these!
