A robust jeweller's shear designed for efficiently cutting wider sheet and strip metal with precision.
What it does
These 7.25-inch shears employ wide, flat blades to maximise contact and minimise repositioning when cutting broader sections of non-ferrous metals. The continuous loop handle, finished with a comfortable red vinyl grip, offers a secure hold and benefits from a spring-return mechanism for consistent cutting action. A large, slotted pivot screw allows for easy adjustment of blade tension, ensuring a clean, straight cut across silver, copper, or brass sheet, speeding up your fabrication process.
How to use it
- Align the wide blades over your sheet metal.
- Apply steady pressure for a clean, continuous cut.
- Wipe blades clean and store dry for longevity.
Who it's for
An essential tool for UK silversmiths, bench jewellers, and metalsmiths tackling sheet fabrication. Ideal for those cutting 1mm or thicker sheet, these shears streamline the process, replacing multiple smaller cuts. Also suitable for serious hobbyists requiring efficient sheet metal preparation.

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.
