Master delicate metalwork with these parallel action flat nose pliers, ideal for forming and holding jewellery components without marring.
What it does
These pliers offer a consistent, mark-free grip essential for polished metals and sensitive components. The compound lever action ensures the flat nylon jaws remain perfectly parallel throughout their travel, delivering even pressure and preventing damage. A finely knurled thumbscrew allows precise adjustment of the jaw opening to accommodate varying material thicknesses, providing controlled force for intricate shaping and assembly at your bench.
How to use it
- Adjust jaw gap with the thumbscrew for your material.
- Gently grip components, applying consistent, even pressure.
- Wipe clean after use; store in a dry place.
Who it's for
An indispensable tool for UK bench jewellers, silversmiths, and watchmakers. Also valuable for experienced beaders and wire-workers tackling intricate designs. This replaces the need for masking tape or other makeshift solutions, ensuring a pristine finish on every piece.

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.
