Achieve perfectly uniform loops and coils consistently with these 5.5-inch parallel action round nose pliers, essential for detailed jewellery and craft wirework.

What it does

The parallel action mechanism ensures both smooth, round jaws remain perfectly aligned as they close, gripping wire evenly from tip to base. This precise alignment prevents wire distortion and delivers consistent loop diameters, vital for batch production. The tapered jaw geometry allows for a range of loop sizes, while the hardened stainless steel construction offers durability for repetitive forming tasks without marring softer metals.

How to use it

  • Grip wire securely at the desired loop point.
  • Gently bend wire around the tapering jaws.
  • Store clean and dry to maintain smooth action.

Who it's for

An indispensable tool for UK silversmiths, jewellery makers, and advanced wire-workers seeking precision in loop formation. It replaces inconsistent hand-formed loops and pairs perfectly with mandrels for repeatable results, ideal for professionals and serious hobbyists working with precious metals.

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.
