6 Inch Half Round Concave Nose Pliers, Stainless Steel, Ring Bending and Forming Jewellery Tool
For jewellers and silversmiths forming ring shanks and curved components, these half-round concave pliers are a workshop staple. The opposing jaw profiles create clean, consistent arcs in wire and sheet metal, preventing the kinking that can occur with standard flat-nosed pliers.
Key features
- One jaw is half-round whilst the opposing jaw is concave to support both sides of a curve.
- Smooth, non-serrated jaw surfaces prevent marring of soft precious metals.
- Constructed with a simple and reliable lap joint for consistent operation.
- Dark purple PVC-coated handles offer a comfortable and secure grip.
- Made from stainless steel for durability and resistance to corrosion.
