Sprue Cutting & Gripping Shears — Stainless Steel, 18.5 cm, Silver, Bench Casting Clean-Up
Precision steel shears for clean sprue removal and component gripping at the jeweller's bench.
What it does
These robust shears offer a dual function for intricate metalwork. The hardened stainless steel jaws feature a sharp cutting edge for effortless sprue removal, complemented by finely serrated gripping surfaces for secure handling of small components. A single-rivet pivot ensures high leverage, making light work of tough materials and reducing hand fatigue during repetitive tasks. The satin finish minimises glare under workshop lighting.
How to use it
- Position jaws around the sprue or component.
- Apply firm, controlled pressure for cutting or gripping.
- Wipe clean after use and store dry.
Who it's for
An essential tool for bench jewellers, silversmiths, and model makers. Ideal for refining pewter or white metal castings, these shears replace multiple tools and streamline post-casting clean-up. Also suitable for hobbyists and intermediate makers working with plastics and other non-ferrous materials.
