These 160mm heavy-duty shears provide precise cutting power for thick sheet and wire, essential for demanding jewellery making tasks.

What it does

Engineered for consistent performance, these shears leverage their wide, precisely ground blades to slice cleanly through tougher materials. The robust pivot screw allows for fine-tuning blade tension, ensuring optimal cutting action. The angled handle design elevates your hand, offering superior clearance from the workpiece and improved visibility during intricate cutting operations. This ergonomic advantage reduces fatigue on repetitive tasks.

How to use it

  • Position material between the blades.
  • Apply steady, firm pressure to cut.
  • Wipe clean after use and store closed.

Who it's for

An indispensable tool for professional jewellers, silversmiths, and metalsmiths who frequently work with substantial gauge sheet or wire. This robust shear replaces weaker alternatives, offering a reliable solution for tasks where precision and force are equally important. Also suitable for experienced craftspeople and serious hobbyists.

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.
