Master intricate wirework and delicate component manipulation with these 140mm conical jaw snipe nose pliers, ideal for precise jewellery assembly.

What it does

These pliers offer exceptional control for gripping, bending, and shaping fine wires and findings. Their precisely tapered conical jaws ensure a secure hold on small elements without causing damage. The sprung mechanism aids in reducing hand strain during prolonged use, while the polished stainless steel construction provides durability and resistance to tarnish. They are engineered for consistent performance on the jeweller's bench, facilitating accurate placement and manipulation of even the smallest parts.

How to use it

  • Position jaws around the wire or component.
  • Gently squeeze handles to grip and manipulate.
  • Wipe clean and store dry after use.

Who it's for

Essential for jewellers, silversmiths, watchmakers, and serious beaders. These pliers are a step up from basic tools, offering the precision needed for intricate wire looping, setting small stones, or assembling delicate chains. They replace less controlled gripping methods and pair perfectly with other fine-jawed tools for detailed bench work.

Common questions at the bench

Which jaw shape suits which job?
Round nose jaws form loops and curves. Chain nose (snipe nose) jaws taper to a fine tip for gripping and bending in tight spots. Flat nose jaws hold work and make crisp, angled bends. Bent nose jaws reach around and under a piece.
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.
