Manual Ring Stretcher Expander Enlarger Jewellery Tool, 2-14 Size Range, Metal Construction with Black Handle
For bench jewellers and repairers needing to resize plain bands, this manual ring stretcher offers controlled expansion without a full press. It provides an incremental alternative to hammer-stretching, reducing the risk of distorting the ring's profile whilst working on customer repairs.
Key features
- Segmented steel mandrel expands to stretch rings from size 2 to 14.
- Mandrel is clearly marked with whole and half-size indicators for accuracy.
- T-handle operates a screw mechanism for gradual and controlled expansion.
- Features a polished metal body and a secondary polymer grip handle for stability.
- Suitable for enlarging plain bands made from gold, silver, and other non-ferrous metals.
