This 10-inch forged steel wire drawing tong provides a secure, consistent grip for pulling metal through a drawplate. It's engineered for precision wire reduction on the jeweller's bench.

What it does

These tongs are designed to firmly grasp wire ends, enabling controlled pulling through a drawplate for accurate gauge reduction. The deeply serrated jaws are precisely machined to bite into the metal, preventing slippage even under significant tension. This ensures a clean, even draw from start to finish, crucial for achieving consistent wire profiles. The robust forged steel construction guarantees durability and reliable performance through repeated use.

How to use it

  • Insert wire end firmly into the serrated jaws.
  • Apply steady, even pressure to pull wire through the drawplate.
  • Clean jaws after use to maintain grip.

Who it's for

Essential for bench jewellers, silversmiths, and wire-workers in the UK who regularly reduce wire stock. This tool replaces less secure methods and works in tandem with drawplates, essential for creating precise wire diameters for findings, bezels, or decorative elements.

Common questions at the bench

Will these mark soft silver wire?
Our flat-, snipe-, and round-nose pliers have polished interior jaws — they will not mark cleanly annealed precious-metal wire when used with normal grip pressure. For absolutely no-mark work on finished pieces, wrap the jaws with masking tape or nylon-jaw covers (sold separately).
Can these cut hardened wire?
Tungsten-carbide-tipped cutters in this collection handle hardened steel up to spring temper. Standard side cutters are for non-ferrous (silver, gold, copper, brass) up to half-hard. Check the product spec for the cutting capacity.
What is the difference between parallel and standard pliers?
Standard pliers pivot on a single point — the jaws scissor open and grip strongest at the tip. Parallel-action pliers stay perfectly parallel through the full opening, giving equal grip pressure across the whole jaw face. Parallel models are higher-precision (better for wire-wrapping and dead-soft annealed wire) but cost more.
Do they come spring-loaded?
Most of our bench pliers ship spring-loaded for one-handed operation. Where the spring is removable, the product description notes it. Spring tension is set for all-day comfort, not maximum grip.
