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.
