Spanish term or phrase: Entramador
Hi,

I'm translating some product descriptions for an online retail site from Spanish for Spain to British English and am having trouble with a phrase. The product in question is a pair of pliers, but I'm not sure what the phrase in question is unfortunately. Here is the full product description for context:

'Ferrestock S.L. - Alicate triscador 190 m.m. (entramador)'

It can be found at the following link:

https://www.amazon.es/dp/B00L2IBN8W

Having done a little research, I'm not 100% sure about what this is meant to be referring to (or whether the Spanish is particularly great in the first place!). Can someone help please?

Many thanks!

Or saw straightener.
Lizar = alisar = to smooth or straighten (Poner liso algo).
On chainsaws you do it with a file.

Reference information:
2. tr. Torcer alternativamente y a uno y otro lado los dientes de la sierra para que la hoja corra sin dificultad por la hendidura.

Looks like these pliers are used to set the teeth of your saw alternatively to one side and the other... so one can cut better... so, entramar, would be something like "to weave", in order to create an "entramado" (frame), so metaphorically it is like a "weaver"... but you don't "weave" anything. Just get your "saw" ready for heavy duty cutting...
