5.5 Inch Round and Concave Nose Jaws Pliers with PVC Grips for Jewellery Crafts and Hobby
For jewellers and silversmiths forming curved ring shanks, bezels, or wire components. These round-and-concave pliers shape metal cleanly around the jaw profile, preventing the kinking or flattening common with standard round-nose pliers. All our tools are UK-stocked for rapid, same-day dispatch.
