Forming & Beading Pliers — 5 Inch Flat / Half-Round Nose, Non-Slip PVC Handles
One jaw forms, the other holds: the half-round side shapes rings, loops and smooth curves, while the flat side puts a crisp angle into wire or grips a component still — the two operations that alternate constantly in beading and wirework, covered without a tool change. Apprentices learning wire forming will find the combination does most of a day's bending on its own.
Both inner faces are smooth, so soft jewellery metals come through unmarked, and the steel body runs on a simple, reliable lap joint. Bright red PVC handles give a non-slip, comfortable grip, and at 5 inches overall the pliers are compact enough for genuinely fine work with wire and small components.
- One flat jaw for gripping and angled bends, paired with a half-round jaw for shaping curves.
- The inner faces of both jaws are smooth to prevent marring soft jewellery metals.
- Durable steel construction with a simple, reliable lap joint for smooth operation.
- Bright red, non-slip PVC handles provide a comfortable and secure grip.
- Compact 5-inch overall length is ideal for detailed wirework and beading.
