Ring Bending & Bow Closing Pliers — 12.7 cm with Brass Jaw, Jewellery Forming Tool
Closing a ring or easing a shank round is a marking hazard when both jaws are steel. Here the brass jaw takes the load: softer than silver or gold, its V-groove cradles the wire while the concave steel jaw opposite applies the curve. The result is controlled bending with no bruise to polish out afterwards.
The 12.7 cm steel body keeps the tool nimble for bench work, and the red plastic-dipped handles give a sure grip and make it easy to spot in the rack. Brass being sacrificial, expect the soft jaw to pick up marks over time — that is the tool wearing so your work does not.
- Concave steel jaw provides a firm, curved surface for shaping rings.
- Opposing brass jaw with a V-groove securely holds wire without scratching.
- Brass jaw material is softer than precious metals, preventing marks on finished work.
- Durable steel body with red plastic-dipped handles for a secure grip.
