Master precise, repeatable gripping and forming with these 160mm parallel action pliers, ideal for delicate jewellery fabrication.
What it does
These pliers deliver a consistently parallel jaw action, essential for tasks requiring uniform pressure. The integrated adjustable screw allows you to pre-set the jaw opening, ensuring the same grip strength and width every time. This precision eliminates the need for constant re-adjustment and prevents accidental marring of your workpiece, thanks to the smooth, flat jaws. The compound lever action amplifies your hand pressure for controlled manipulation.
How to use it
- Adjust screw for desired jaw gap.
- Grip and form workpiece with consistent pressure.
- Clean jaws after use for longevity.
Who it's for
Perfect for bench jewellers, silversmiths, and wire-workers seeking a reliable tool for bending, straightening, and holding components. This replaces the need for multiple adjustments with standard pliers and is a solid addition for both intermediate craftspeople and seasoned professionals.

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.
