Specialist pliers for setting and angling spectacle hinges. The wide, parallel jaws close flat onto a hinge barrel and hold it without marking, delivering the controlled pressure a frame adjustment needs rather than the gamble of ordinary flat pliers on someone's glasses.

Stainless steel throughout and 150 mm long, with machined grooves on one handle for a sure grip during fine movements. They handle titanium, acetate and most metal alloy frames, and the same stable parallel hold serves jewellers who need to grip small flat-sided components without leaving a trace.

  • Wide, parallel jaws provide a stable, non-marring grip on delicate hinge barrels.
  • Constructed from stainless steel for durability and corrosion resistance.
  • One handle features machined grooves for improved grip and control during fine adjustments.
  • Overall length of 150 mm provides leverage whilst remaining manageable for bench work.
  • Suitable for adjusting hinges on titanium, acetate, and most metal alloy frames.

Who it's for

Primarily designed for UK dispensing opticians, optical lab technicians, and frame repair specialists. Also suitable for jewellers and craftspeople requiring a firm, parallel grip on small, flat-sided components without marking the surface.

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.
