For bench jewellers repairing wide bands and men's rings, these large-jaw tweezers provide the secure grip that standard tools lack. The 16mm wide jaws hold chunky profiles squarely, preventing movement or tipping whilst you solder, ensuring a clean and accurate join every time.
Key features
- Extra-wide 16mm x 27mm jaws designed to hold broad ring shanks securely.
- Serrated finger grips along the body provide positive, non-slip handling.
- Constructed from stainless steel for durability and heat resistance during soldering.
- The 6-inch (150mm) length keeps your hands a safe distance from the flame.
- Curved jaw profile grips the ring on its outer edge without marking the surface.
Who it's for
An essential third hand for UK bench jewellers, jewellery repair workshops, and silversmiths who regularly work with larger ring sizes or wide, flat-band designs. Also suitable for hobbyists and craftspeople undertaking detailed soldering work on items with a broad, curved profile.

Common questions at the bench
Will heat damage these tweezers?
Stainless steel cross-lock and standard tweezers handle bench-torch heat (1500 °C+) on the working tips repeatedly without damage — the steel just discolours. Titanium-tip soldering picks specifically will not bond to silver or gold solder, which standard steel will after enough use.
Cross-lock or reverse-action — which one?
Cross-lock (self-locking on close) grips your work without finger pressure — best for holding a piece for soldering. Reverse-action (locks open, releases on squeeze) holds a piece in position when you want to walk away. Most benches end up owning both.
What is the third-hand base for?
A heavy base with one or two cross-lock arms keeps your work stable while you set up solder pallions or apply heat. Frees both your hands for the torch and pick. The heavier the base, the steadier the work — aim for 1 kg+ for medium bench-torch work.
Can I solder on a ceramic board?
Yes — ceramic boards reflect heat back into the work and do not pit the way old fire-bricks do. For sterling work, a charcoal block underneath gives a reducing atmosphere that helps prevent firescale.
