Every join ends with a cut, and a ragged one means extra filing. These side cutters take jewellery wire off cleanly and flush, so the tail on a wrapped loop or a trimmed pin needs little or no tidying afterwards — the natural partner to the forming pliers in any wire work kit.
The stainless-steel jaws are precisely aligned, which is what makes the cut clean rather than crushed, and the cushioned black foam grips keep repeated cutting comfortable on the hand. For jewellery making, beading and wire work at the bench.
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.
