These 17.8cm jewellers shears deliver precise, clean cuts for shaping non-ferrous sheet metal and wire at the bench.

What it does

Designed for control, these snips make straight, continuous cuts right to the tip thanks to their sharp, stainless steel blades. The single continuous loop handle, finished with a bright blue PVC coating, provides a secure and comfortable grip for repetitive trimming and sizing tasks. They offer the leverage needed to cleanly cut soft metals like sterling silver, gold, and copper up to 0.8mm thick, as well as craft wire and thin leather.

How to use it

  • Position material firmly between the blades.
  • Squeeze handle for a smooth, continuous cut.
  • Wipe clean and store dry after use.

Who it's for

An essential tool for UK bench jewellers, silversmiths, and metal artists. Whether you're trimming blanks, sizing stock, or working on intricate designs, these shears offer precise control. They are ideal for hobbyists and intermediate makers seeking a reliable alternative to less precise cutting methods for soft metals and thin craft materials.

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.
