Ring Bending & Forming Pliers — Half Round Concave Nose, Stainless Steel, 6 Inch

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.
