Side cutters built for production runs — the shaped handles carry finger scallops that spread grip pressure, so the hundredth cut of the day lands as cleanly as the first. The jaws are angled for close cuts against the work, which suits trimming wire wraps, findings and component leads tight to the piece.

Construction is polished stainless steel throughout: a box joint that holds the cutting edges in alignment, a double-leaf spring that reopens the handles between cuts, and all-metal handles that wipe clean and never shed a cushion grip. Makers who prefer the direct feel and durability of bare metal over padded grips will be at home with them. Overall length is 5.5" (140mm).

  • Shaped stainless steel handles with finger scallops to reduce localised pressure.
  • Side-cutting jaws are angled for making close, clean cuts to your work.
  • Polished, all-metal construction for durability and easy cleaning.
  • Box-joint design maintains jaw alignment for reliable, consistent cutting.
  • Double-leaf spring provides a responsive, self-opening action for repetitive tasks.

Who it's for

An essential bench tool for UK production jewellers, wire-wrapping artists, and electronics hobbyists who cut soft wire repeatedly. They are favoured by makers who prefer the direct feel and durability of all-metal handles over cushioned grips.

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.
