Side cutters set up for long sessions — the contoured dual-material handles spread grip pressure, and the spring-loaded action reopens the jaws after every cut, so a production run of soft-wire cuts costs your hand far less. The machined stainless steel head cuts jewellery wire cleanly, and fine-gauge component leads besides.

A durable lap joint holds the cutting edges in precise alignment cut after cut, and at 5 inches (125mm) overall the tool stays manoeuvrable for intricate work close to the piece. Beaders, wire artists, model makers and electronics hobbyists will all find it a straightforward, reliable bench cutter for non-ferrous wire. Stocked in the UK for same-day dispatch.

  • Machined stainless steel cutting head for clean cuts on soft jewellery wire.
  • Dual-material ergonomic handles are contoured to reduce grip pressure and fatigue.
  • Spring-loaded action automatically reopens the jaws for rapid, repetitive work.
  • Durable lap joint construction maintains precise alignment of the cutting edges.
  • Compact 5-inch size offers excellent manoeuvrability for intricate tasks.

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.
