160 mm Parallel Action Pliers with Adjustable Screw, Flat Nose, Smooth Jaws for Jewellery Making and Crafts
For jewellers and metalworkers who need a consistent grip across varied material gauges. These parallel action pliers use an adjustable screw to pre-set the jaw gap, ensuring repeatable pressure for forming and gripping tasks without marking the workpiece or re-calibrating between pieces.
Key features
- Smooth, flat-faced jaws maintain parallel contact to provide a firm, non-marring grip.
- Knurled thumb screw adjusts the jaw gap for consistent results on varied material thicknesses.
- Compound lever action multiplies hand force for controlled gripping and forming.
- Return spring between the handles gently opens the jaws, reducing hand fatigue.
- Satin-finished steel handles feature a textured surface for improved grip and control.
Who it's for
Ideal for bench jewellers, silversmiths, and model makers who regularly form, bend, or hold flat stock and wire. Also suitable for electronics technicians and other craftspeople requiring a parallel grip whilst protecting delicate components from damage.
