Curving a ring shank with flat-nose pliers leaves a chain of tiny kinks; these do it properly. The half-round jaw sets the inside of the curve while the concave jaw supports the outside, so wire and sheet bend into a clean, continuous arc — the everyday move behind shanks, bezel walls and curved wirework. Before you form, our guide to choosing a ring mandrel covers truing the shape up.

The smooth, non-serrated jaw surfaces keep soft precious metals unmarked, and the stainless steel build with a simple lap joint gives consistent action and corrosion resistance. Dark purple PVC-coated handles hold securely at the 6-inch length.

  • One jaw is half-round whilst the opposing jaw is concave to support both sides of a curve.
  • Smooth, non-serrated jaw surfaces prevent marring of soft precious metals.
  • Constructed with a simple and reliable lap joint for consistent operation.
  • Dark purple PVC-coated handles offer a comfortable and secure grip.
  • Made from stainless steel for durability and resistance to corrosion.

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.
