For jewellers drawing wire to a specific gauge, maintaining a secure grip is critical. These forged steel tongs are designed to pull wire cleanly through a drawplate, with serrated jaws that prevent slippage and ensure a consistent draw from start to finish.

Key features

  • Deeply serrated jaws provide a non-slip grip on wire ends under high tension.
  • Heavy-duty forged steel construction withstands the sustained force of wire drawing.
  • One handle is shaped into a large hook for anchoring or applying leverage.
  • The 10-inch overall length provides ample purchase for a controlled pull.

Who it's for

Primarily for UK bench jewellers, silversmiths, and metalsmiths who regularly draw down gold, silver, copper, or other non-ferrous wire. Also suitable for armourers and specialist craftspeople requiring a robust pulling tool for metal stock.

Specifications

  • Material: Forged Steel
  • Overall Length: 10" (approx. 254mm)
  • Jaw Type: Serrated

Pliers are good, but slightly disappointed that they didn't match the picture on your website. I chose to pay more for yours over competitors because I wanted the forged black look over the painted silver finish. However, I ended up receiving the painted silver finish anyway.
