Concave/Convex Forming Pliers, Stainless Steel, 5 Inch, for Jewellery Ring Bending, Holding and Wire Work
For bench jewellers forming clean curves in ring shanks and wire, these pliers are the correct tool for the job. The opposing concave and convex jaws support the metal on both sides of the bend, producing a consistent, kink-free arc without marring the workpiece.
Key features
- One concave and one convex jaw for shaping wire and sheet metal into smooth arcs.
- Features a strong box-joint construction for reliable, flex-free jaw alignment.
- Polished stainless steel head resists corrosion and allows for smooth contact with workpieces.
- Red vinyl-coated handles provide a comfortable, non-slip grip during use.
- The 5-inch size offers excellent control for detailed jewellery and wire-forming tasks.
