Thin-walled tube crushes long before it bends if you grip it with steel. These pliers hold silver, copper or brass tubing in grooved nylon jaws so you can form bezels, frames and structural elements while the section stays true and the surface stays clean. If bezels are on your bench, our bezel setting guide walks through the fundamentals.

The jaw faces carry several semi-circular grooves to seat a range of tube diameters positively, and the soft nylon will not scratch polished work. Underneath, it is a proper pliers build: box-joint construction that keeps alignment true under pressure, with cushioned, non-slip handles for controlled, comfortable bending.

  • Nylon jaw faces feature multiple semi-circular grooves to securely hold various tube diameters.
  • Soft jaw material grips polished or soft metal tubing without scratching or deforming the surface.
  • Durable box-joint construction ensures jaw alignment remains true under pressure.
  • Cushioned, non-slip handles provide comfortable and controlled operation.

Who it's for

An essential tool for UK bench jewellers, silversmiths, and metalwork artists. Ideal for anyone forming bezels, decorative frames, or other structural components from non-ferrous metal tubing such as silver, copper, and brass.

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.
