A spoon ring lives or dies by the sweep of its curve. These 7-inch pliers wrap flat stock around a fixed cylindrical post, so the radius comes out smooth and repeatable rather than kinked where hand pressure wandered. The same action forms ring shanks, bangles and bracelet blanks from flat strip, with a compound lever action that bends tough stock without a struggle.

The body is carbon steel in a non-reflective black oxide finish, with tubular steel handles under textured foam grips. The grub screw — adjusted with the included Allen key — sets the jaw gap to match the gauge of strip on your bench. An occasional wipe with a lightly oiled rag keeps carbon steel in good order.

  • Bends flat stock around a fixed cylindrical post for a smooth, consistent radius.
  • Allen key grub screw adjusts the jaw gap to accommodate different gauges of flat stock.
  • Solid carbon steel construction with a non-reflective, black oxide finish.
  • Tubular steel handles fitted with textured, non-slip foam grips for comfort and control.
  • Compound lever action provides significant mechanical advantage for bending tough stock.

Common questions at the bench

How do I get an even curve?
Work along the piece in small steps, moving the pliers a little at a time and closing them gently, rather than forcing the whole curve in one place. Check the shape often against your mandrel, template or the piece it has to fit.
Will these give me an exact ring or bangle size?
No. They shape the curve; check the size on a ring or bracelet mandrel, or with a ring sizer, and true up the shape on a mandrel before you join or finish the piece.
What thickness of metal can I bend?
If this product's description gives a size or thickness, stay within it. Annealed (softened) metal bends more evenly and with less force than work-hardened stock, and is less likely to crack or kink.
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.
