Opening a jump ring buried in a finished chain is a job for a slim jaw. These 5-inch chain nose pliers taper to a fine point that reaches into tight assemblies — closing rings, tucking wire ends, gripping small findings — and the smooth, non-serrated faces do it without chewing up soft wire. An honest everyday pair for beading, chain work and general craft assembly.

A double-leaf spring reopens the jaws after each squeeze, which spares your hand over a long stringing or repair session, and the lightweight build with cushioned black vinyl grips keeps fatigue low. Suited to jewellery students, beaders and light electronics work alike.

  • Slim-profile jaws taper to a fine point for excellent access to small jump rings and fine chain.
  • Smooth, non-serrated inner jaw faces help prevent marking or damaging delicate wire work.
  • Fitted with a double-leaf spring for a consistent, self-opening action that reduces hand fatigue.
  • Lightweight construction with cushioned black vinyl grips for comfortable handling during repetitive tasks.

Who it's for

An ideal choice for UK jewellery students, beading enthusiasts, and craft makers who need a functional, everyday tool. Also suitable for model making and light-duty electronics work where fine component handling is required.

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.
