Forming pliers scaled for the big jobs: cuffs, wide-band rings and bangles in heavy-gauge strip. One jaw is fully round, the other half-round, and at 1⅜ inches wide they spread the bending force across the full width of the strip — so the curve grows evenly instead of kinking at pressure points.

The jaw faces are polished steel to keep marring to a minimum, the box joint holds everything parallel under load, and the curved handles wear blue non-slip grips. They are intended for non-ferrous strip; our metals guide covers how silver, brass and copper each behave under forming.

  • Features one fully round jaw and one half-round jaw for versatile shaping.
  • A 1⅜-inch (approx. 35mm) jaw width distributes forming pressure evenly across wide metal strip.
  • Polished steel jaw surfaces minimise the risk of marring your workpiece.
  • Box-joint construction ensures jaws remain parallel and aligned whilst under pressure.
  • Fitted with blue, non-slip comfort grips on ergonomically curved handles.

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.
