When to choose it

The 1440-CO combines a curved handle with an opening spring. Consider it where the frame makes a straight approach uncomfortable and you want the jaws to open again after you let go. The position of the rail matters as much as the way the spring moves the jaws.

The 1440-CC keeps the curved shape and changes to a closing spring. If you need a straight handle with the same opening action, compare the 1440-AO. Choose the ring separately by the attachment and what the tool documentation supports.
