Fine chain work has a habit of happening at the bottom of somewhere awkward — inside a clasp, behind a stone, deep in a densely linked repair. The long, finely tapered jaws on these pliers reach in where standard chain nose pliers cannot, and the smooth, non-serrated faces close on soft metal without leaving tooth marks.

The body is stainless steel, so it resists corrosion through everyday workshop use, and the double-leaf spring re-opens the jaws between grips to spare your hand over a long session. Curved PVC grips hold steady without squeezing effort. At 5.5 inches overall, the tool balances well for close assembly work.

  • Long, finely tapered jaws for accessing restricted areas in detailed work.
  • Smooth, non-serrated inner jaw faces prevent marring of soft metals and delicate components.
  • A double-leaf spring provides a smooth, self-opening action to reduce hand strain.
  • Curved PVC handles offer a comfortable, secure grip for sustained use.
  • Stainless steel construction provides durability and resistance to corrosion.

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.
