Parallel Action Flat Nose Pliers, Smooth Jaws, 140mm, without Spring, 5.5-Inch Jewelry Craft Tool
For jewellers and craftspeople who need to maintain a firm, consistent grip on components without fighting a spring. These UK-stocked parallel action pliers clamp securely and stay put, freeing you to focus on precise forming, positioning, and assembly work at the bench.
Key features
- Compound lever action keeps jaws parallel for a uniform grip along their entire length.
- Smooth, flat-faced jaws minimise marking on soft metals and finished components.
- Designed without a return spring, allowing the jaws to remain in position for sustained clamping.
- Measures 140mm (5.5 inches) overall, a standard size for detailed bench work.
- Satin-finish steel handles feature a pressed pattern for improved grip and control.
Who it's for
An essential tool for bench jewellers, silversmiths, and model makers who favour the deliberate action of non-sprung pliers. Also suited to electronics and fine assembly work where components must be held securely for soldering or positioning.
