Precision pliers for cold-bending spectacle temple ends, offering a custom fit for delicate eyewear and jewellery components.

What it does

These shaping pliers gently curve and adjust temple ends without marking the material. The precisely engineered nylon jaws, one flat and one large cylinder, provide controlled support during cold bending. This design ensures the integrity of acetate, titanium, and metal frames. The durable box-joint construction guarantees consistent jaw alignment, even under firm pressure, for reliable adjustments every time.

How to use it

  • Position the frame temple between the nylon jaws.
  • Apply controlled pressure to achieve the desired curve.
  • Wipe clean after use to maintain jaw integrity.

Who it's for

An essential tool for dispensing opticians, optical technicians, and jewellers working with delicate frame materials. This tool replaces the need for heat or less precise clamping methods, offering controlled shaping for bespoke fits or repairs. Ideal for those needing accuracy on the bench.

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.
