Securely grip and flatten sheet metal without marring with these professional-grade duck bill pliers, essential for precise jewellery making and metalworking tasks.

What it does

These pliers deliver a consistent, even pressure across wider surfaces thanks to their broad, flat jaws. This design prevents the localised stress points and accidental damage often caused by narrower jawed tools. The smooth, non-serrated faces are specifically engineered to avoid marking softer metals like sterling silver or copper. Constructed from hardened steel, they offer reliable jaw alignment and durability for repeated bench use.

How to use it

  • Position the jaws around your metal sheet or wire.
  • Gently close the handles for a secure, flat grip.
  • Wipe clean after use and store dry.

Who it's for

Ideal for silversmiths, jewellers, and metalsmiths working with sheet stock or needing to flatten bent wire. These replace standard flat nose pliers for tasks requiring a wider, gentler contact area, significantly improving control and finish on delicate projects.

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.
