Forming a loop while holding finished work is normally a two-tool job. Here the pair is built into one: a conical steel jaw turns loops and curves in wire, while the opposing flat nylon jaw grips polished surfaces without leaving a mark — bend against hold in a single squeeze. Spectacle-frame technicians rely on the same combination for fine adjustments to frames and fittings.

The body and handles are steel throughout, finished in a non-glare satin that is easy on the eyes under bench lighting, with curved, un-cushioned handles that transmit direct feel to the jaws. The nylon pad is screw-fitted to its steel base, so it stays put in use. A practical pick for jewellers, model makers and crafts work alike.

  • One conical steel jaw for forming loops and curves in wire.
  • One flat nylon jaw for gripping polished surfaces without leaving marks.
  • Durable steel body and handles with a non-glare, satin finish.
  • Curved, un-cushioned metal handles for direct feel and control.
  • The nylon jaw pad is screw-fitted to the steel base for a secure fit.

Who it's for

A versatile tool for UK bench jewellers, spectacle frame technicians, and model makers. Ideal for anyone working with delicate wire or polished metal components where both forming and mark-free gripping are required in the same operation.

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.
