For putting a crisp, repeatable angle into soft metal wire and strip. One jaw carries a V-shaped groove, the other a matching V-point; close them on the workpiece and the bend forms at the same angle every time, which is what you want when a production run calls for a row of identical components rather than near-matches bent by eye.

A compound joint gives a true parallel action, so the jaws stay aligned through their full travel and pressure lands evenly across the metal instead of pinching at one edge. The steel jaws are machined to a sharp profile for clean, defined angles. A sound choice for bench jewellers, silversmiths and model makers forming angular parts.

  • One jaw features a V-shaped groove whilst the other has a corresponding V-point for forming sharp angles.
  • A compound joint mechanism delivers a true parallel action, keeping jaws aligned throughout their movement.
  • Applies even pressure across the workpiece for consistent, uniform bends in soft metal wire and strip.
  • Steel jaws are machined to a sharp profile for creating clean, defined angles.
  • Enables the creation of identical V-bends repeatedly, essential for production work and consistent results.

Who it's for

A workshop essential for UK bench jewellers, silversmiths, and craftspeople working with wire. Also suited for model makers and electronics technicians who need to form precise angular components from metal strip or wire.

Common questions at the bench

What does parallel action mean?
The jaws stay parallel to each other as they open and close, so they grip evenly along their length instead of closing at an angle like standard pliers. That even grip helps when holding flat strip or sheet, straightening wire or holding work that must not slip.
Will these mark my work?
Any jaw can mark soft metal or a polished finish if you grip too hard or the jaws are dirty, and serrated or textured jaws mark more easily than smooth ones. Use the lightest grip that holds the piece and keep the jaws clean; on finished or plated work, cover metal jaws with masking tape or use nylon-jawed pliers.
Can they cut wire?
Only if this product's description says it has a cutting edge or built-in cutter. Otherwise use a separate wire cutter; cutting or twisting hard wire in holding jaws can damage the jaw faces.
How should I look after them?
Wipe them clean after use, keep them dry and store them so the jaws do not knock against other tools. Keep the moving parts free of grit and filings so the action stays smooth, and do not use them as a hammer or a lever.
