Master intricate wire shaping and component manipulation with these professional parallel action pliers, ideal for precise jewellery making.

What it does

These pliers deliver a consistent, even grip across their entire opening thanks to a compound box-joint mechanism. This ensures the round nose jaw and flat nose jaw remain perfectly parallel, preventing workpiece marring. The robust steel construction, visible rivet and bolt assembly, and precisely machined jaws speak to their enduring bench performance. The integrated nylon sleeves offer a gentle touch for delicate metals.

How to use it

  • Select the appropriate jaw for your task.
  • Grip wire or components firmly without excessive pressure.
  • Gently shape, bend, or hold delicate elements.

Who it's for

An essential tool for bench jewellers, silversmiths, and serious wire-workers. This replaces the need for multiple plier types for basic forming and loop creation. Also suitable for beaders and model makers working with fine materials.

What's in the box

One pair of 5.5-inch parallel action pliers with nylon jaws, plus one spare set of nylon jaw tips.

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.
