Shape flat metal stock into precise curves for rings and bracelets with these dedicated forming pliers.

What it does

These pliers gently bend flat wire and strip into consistent arcs without damaging the metal's surface. The aluminium jaw cradles the workpiece, preventing scratches, while the opposing steel post provides a stable forming point. This controlled bending action maintains the strip's orientation, crucial for seamless joinery and a professional finish. The robust steel construction ensures durability for repeated use at the bench.

How to use it

  • Position flat stock between the aluminium jaw and steel post.
  • Gently squeeze handles to bend the metal around the post.
  • Store clean and dry to prevent corrosion.

Who it's for

An indispensable tool for UK bench jewellers, silversmiths, and dedicated hobbyists working with sheet and wire. It streamlines the process of creating perfectly rounded rings and bangles, replacing less precise methods and ensuring consistent results for both professional and intermediate craftspeople.

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.
