Securely grip and form delicate metal components without leaving a trace. These 5.5-inch parallel action pliers are engineered for precise jewellery making tasks.

What it does

These pliers feature a compound box-joint mechanism that ensures the smooth brass jaws remain perfectly parallel throughout their entire opening and closing range. This design delivers consistent, even pressure, crucial for preventing marring on polished or soft metals during forming, wire bending, or assembly. The robust steel construction, finished for grip and durability, offers reliable control for intricate work, while the internal spring provides a comfortable return action to minimise hand fatigue during extended bench sessions.

How to use it

  • Position the pliers to grip your workpiece firmly.
  • Gently squeeze the handles to apply even pressure.
  • Clean jaws after use to maintain their smooth finish.

Who it's for

An essential tool for UK bench jewellers, silversmiths, and serious wire workers. Whether you're a professional setting stones, an intermediate crafter assembling components, or a hobbyist working with precious metals, these pliers replace the risk of damaging delicate surfaces with a controlled, mark-free grip.

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.
