Concave/Convex Forming Pliers, Stainless Steel, 5 Inch, for Jewellery Ring Bending, Holding and Wire Work
Form smooth, kink-free curves in ring shanks and wire with these concave/convex forming pliers, essential for precise jewellery bending.
What it does
These 5-inch pliers deliver controlled shaping by cradling metal between opposing concave and convex jaws. This action gently persuades wire or sheet into consistent arcs without creating flat spots or damaging the workpiece surface. The robust box-joint construction ensures stable jaw alignment for repeatable results, while the polished stainless steel heads provide a smooth, non-marring contact point, ideal for working with precious metals.
How to use it
- Position wire or shank between jaws.
- Gently squeeze and draw to form curve.
- Wipe clean after use for longevity.
Who it's for
An indispensable tool for UK bench jewellers, silversmiths, and apprentices. These pliers replace awkward finger shaping or makeshift jigs for creating clean bends in ring shanks, earring components, and wirework. Also suitable for hobbyists and model makers requiring accurate metal forming.
