Anticlastic Forming Pliers, Large Cylinder — 3/8" Channel Jaw for Bracelets, Rings, Bangles

Master anticlastic forming on substantial metalwork with these large 3/8" channel pliers. Designed for shaping heavier gauge strips into elegant bracelets, rings, and bangles with precision.

What it does

These pliers enable the precise creation of complex saddle curves essential for anticlastic forms. The generous 3/8-inch channel jaw supports both faces of wider metal strip, guiding it into the desired compound curvature without buckling. The robust box-joint construction ensures the jaws maintain perfect alignment under firm pressure, delivering consistent, repeatable results for substantial jewellery pieces.

How to use it

• Position metal strip within the 3/8" channel jaws.
• Gently squeeze and advance to form the anticlastic curve.
• Clean jaws after use to maintain precise alignment.

Who it's for

Essential for UK silversmiths and contemporary jewellery makers specialising in anticlastic raising for larger pieces. This tool replaces laborious hand-shaping or less supportive plier methods when working with wider metal stock for cuffs and bangles.
