3-Step Round and Concave Parallel Pliers, 140mm, 3-4-5 mm Loops, Jewellery Making Tool with Spring
For jewellers and wire artists producing jump rings or chain links, consistent sizing is non-negotiable. These parallel action pliers form uniform 3, 4, and 5mm loops repeatedly, ensuring every piece matches. UK-stocked for rapid, free delivery to your workshop.
Key features
- One concave jaw holds the wire securely whilst the opposing stepped jaw forms the loop.
- Three machined steps produce consistent loop diameters of 3mm, 4mm, and 5mm.
- Parallel action ensures the jaws remain aligned for even pressure and uniform shaping.
- Spring-loaded metal handles with a textured grip reduce hand fatigue during repetitive work.
- The 140mm length provides good leverage and control for detailed wire forming.
Who it's for
Ideal for bench jewellers, silversmiths, and craftspeople making their own findings like jump rings and clasps. Also a core tool for students and apprentices learning wire-wrapping and chain-making techniques with non-ferrous metals.

How this compares
| 3-Step Round and Concave... | Alternatives | |
|---|---|---|
| Loop Consistency | Forms precise 3mm, 4mm, and 5mm loops with machined steps | Variable loop sizes due to freehand bending or less precise jaws |
| Jaw Action | Parallel action maintains jaw alignment for even pressure | Pivot action can cause jaws to slip or misalign under pressure |
| Ergonomics | Spring-loaded metal handles with textured grip reduce hand fatigue | Basic handles without spring or grip can cause discomfort during repetitive use |
