Parallel Pliers

Even grip from tip to pivot. Parallel-action jaws close flat and stay flat — firm hold, no twist, no marred work.

Standard pliers pivot like scissors, so the jaws meet at an angle and dig into whatever they hold. Parallel pliers move the whole jaw face evenly, spreading pressure along the full length — which is why jewellers reach for them to straighten wire, hold stock steady and bend sheet without leaving a mark. Smooth, brass and nylon jaw options take that protection further on polished and plated work.
