For bench jewellers who need a secure grip whilst soldering, these ring-holding tweezers free up both hands for the torch and solder. The stainless steel construction provides a steady, heat-resistant hold on the ring shank, keeping the join area clear for work.
Key features
- Specially shaped jaws cradle the ring shank, preventing it from tipping or moving during heating.
- Solid stainless steel construction resists heat transfer and corrosion from flux.
- Serrated outer grips provide a non-slip hold for precise positioning.
- The 6-inch (152mm) length keeps hands a safe distance from the heat.
- Open jaw design allows unimpeded heat flow and clear access to the solder joint.
Who it's for
An essential bench tool for UK jewellers, silversmiths, and jewellery repairers who frequently solder ring shanks. Also suitable for model makers and hobbyists needing to hold small, curved components securely.

Common questions at the bench
Will heat damage these tweezers?
Stainless steel cross-lock and standard tweezers handle bench-torch heat (1500 °C+) on the working tips repeatedly without damage — the steel just discolours. Titanium-tip soldering picks specifically will not bond to silver or gold solder, which standard steel will after enough use.
Cross-lock or reverse-action — which one?
Cross-lock (self-locking on close) grips your work without finger pressure — best for holding a piece for soldering. Reverse-action (locks open, releases on squeeze) holds a piece in position when you want to walk away. Most benches end up owning both.
What is the third-hand base for?
A heavy base with one or two cross-lock arms keeps your work stable while you set up solder pallions or apply heat. Frees both your hands for the torch and pick. The heavier the base, the steadier the work — aim for 1 kg+ for medium bench-torch work.
Can I solder on a ceramic board?
Yes — ceramic boards reflect heat back into the work and do not pit the way old fire-bricks do. For sterling work, a charcoal block underneath gives a reducing atmosphere that helps prevent firescale.
