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.

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.
