Parallel action changes what round nose pliers can do at the bench. Because the smooth, tapered jaws stay parallel through their whole travel, pressure lands evenly along the wire instead of pinching at a single point — loops and long curves come out uniform, with no marring of the workpiece. The 200mm length adds welcome leverage while the tool stays manageable for intricate forming.

The compound lever and box joint are steel throughout, holding jaw alignment through years of repetition rather than developing sideways play. Simple red PVC-coated handles keep the grip secure across repetitive forming runs. A sound choice for wire-wrapping artists, bench jewellers, and the model-making and electronics tasks that call for a clean, non-marring hold on wire.

  • Compound lever action keeps the smooth, round jaws parallel throughout their range of movement.
  • Simple red PVC-coated handles provide a secure, comfortable grip during repetitive tasks.
  • Steel construction with a compound box joint for durability and consistent jaw alignment.
  • The smooth, tapered jaws allow for shaping wire into loops and curves without marring the surface.
  • A 200mm (8-inch) overall length offers good leverage whilst remaining manageable for intricate work.

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.
