Parallel-Action Pliers for Jewellery Making

The Essential Role of Parallel Pliers in Jewellery Making

Parallel-action pliers use a compound mechanism that keeps the jaws parallel as they open and close. Unlike conventional pivoting pliers, they apply pressure more evenly across the gripping surfaces, providing a secure and controlled hold on wire, sheet, findings and small jewellery components.

Available Profiles

Our range includes flat-, round-, half-round and chain-nose pliers, bending and forming profiles, nylon-jaw models and parallel-action diagonal cutters. Smooth and nylon jaws are useful when reducing surface marks is important, while shaped jaws assist with forming loops, curves and consistent bends. Choose the jaw profile and material to suit the workpiece, as hardened or textured steel jaws may mark softer precious metals.
