Some holds want to be deliberate. Without a return spring, these parallel pliers close on a component and stay closed at the pressure you set — no fighting the tool whilst you position, form or hold parts for soldering. The parallel action grips evenly along the full jaw length, so flat stock is held square rather than pinched at the tip.

The smooth, flat jaw faces keep marks off soft metals and finished parts, and the satin-finish steel handles carry a pressed pattern for grip and control. At 140mm (5.5 inches), it is the standard size for detailed bench work in jewellery, modelmaking and fine assembly.

  • Compound lever action keeps jaws parallel for a uniform grip along their entire length.
  • Smooth, flat-faced jaws minimise marking on soft metals and finished components.
  • Designed without a return spring, allowing the jaws to remain in position for sustained clamping.
  • Measures 140mm (5.5 inches) overall, a standard size for detailed bench work.
  • Satin-finish steel handles feature a pressed pattern for improved grip and control.

Who it's for

An essential tool for bench jewellers, silversmiths, and model makers who favour the deliberate action of non-sprung pliers. Also suited to electronics and fine assembly work where components must be held securely for soldering or positioning.

Common questions at the bench

What does parallel action mean?
The jaws stay parallel to each other as they open and close, so they grip evenly along their length instead of closing at an angle like standard pliers. That even grip helps when holding flat strip or sheet, straightening wire or holding work that must not slip.
Will these mark my work?
Any jaw can mark soft metal or a polished finish if you grip too hard or the jaws are dirty, and serrated or textured jaws mark more easily than smooth ones. Use the lightest grip that holds the piece and keep the jaws clean; on finished or plated work, cover metal jaws with masking tape or use nylon-jawed pliers.
Can they cut wire?
Only if this product's description says it has a cutting edge or built-in cutter. Otherwise use a separate wire cutter; cutting or twisting hard wire in holding jaws can damage the jaw faces.
How should I look after them?
Wipe them clean after use, keep them dry and store them so the jaws do not knock against other tools. Keep the moving parts free of grit and filings so the action stays smooth, and do not use them as a hammer or a lever.
