Wire that has been gripped in bare steel jaws carries the evidence. These 160mm flat nose pliers put nylon between tool and workpiece, so you can straighten wire, close bends and adjust spectacle frames without marring polished or plated surfaces.

The polished steel body keeps the rigidity you need for controlled bends, and the curved metal handles include a dimpled grip for purchase. The nylon jaws are replaceable, and a spare pair comes in the box — fit them when the first set wears and carry on.

  • Replaceable, non-marring nylon jaws protect delicate surfaces during manipulation.
  • Polished steel body provides rigidity and control for detailed work.
  • Curved metal handles offer a comfortable hold, with one featuring a dimpled grip.
  • Supplied with a spare pair of nylon jaws for extended tool life.
  • Flat-nose profile allows for precise bending, straightening, and holding of components.

Who it's for

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.
