Wide strip is awkward in ordinary forming pliers — pressure lands along a narrow line and the curve comes out faceted. Here, a wide nylon-faced concave jaw spreads the load across the full width of the stock while the opposing round steel jaw acts as the mandrel, so rings and bracelet blanks come round in smooth, even arcs with the surface unmarked.

The nylon jaw cover is removable, and the tool comes with one spare jaw plus two replacement fitting screws, so a worn face never sidelines it. A coil spring between the plain, comfortable handles reopens the jaws for you, and the satin-finished steel body measures 6.25 inches (158 mm) overall. Opticians use the same tool for frame adjustment; anyone bending delicate finished components will understand why.

  • One round, tapered steel jaw opposes a wide, concave jaw for forming curves.
  • Removable nylon jaw cover protects polished or soft metal surfaces from scratches.
  • Supplied with one spare nylon jaw and two replacement fitting screws.
  • Coil spring between the handles provides a smooth, self-opening action.
  • Durable steel construction with a satin finish and comfortable, plain handles.

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.
