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

What does parallel action mean?
The jaws stay parallel to each other as they open and close, so they grip evenly along their length instead of closing at an angle like standard pliers. That even grip helps when holding flat strip or sheet, straightening wire or holding work that must not slip.
Will these mark my work?
Any jaw can mark soft metal or a polished finish if you grip too hard or the jaws are dirty, and serrated or textured jaws mark more easily than smooth ones. Use the lightest grip that holds the piece and keep the jaws clean; on finished or plated work, cover metal jaws with masking tape or use nylon-jawed pliers.
Can they cut wire?
Only if this product's description says it has a cutting edge or built-in cutter. Otherwise use a separate wire cutter; cutting or twisting hard wire in holding jaws can damage the jaw faces.
How should I look after them?
Wipe them clean after use, keep them dry and store them so the jaws do not knock against other tools. Keep the moving parts free of grit and filings so the action stays smooth, and do not use them as a hammer or a lever.
