For jewellers and silversmiths shaping rings, bangles, and other curved forms. These synclastic pliers create a uniform, double-convex curve in sheet metal with controlled hand pressure, removing the need for repeated hammering on a stake. An essential tool for efficient jewellery making and repair.

Key features

  • Features one convex hemispherical jaw and one concave channel jaw.
  • Highly polished jaw surfaces minimise marking on precious metals.
  • Applies even, controlled pressure to shape metal without hammering.
  • Solid steel construction provides durability and consistent leverage.
  • Box-joint design keeps the jaws correctly aligned during use.

Who it's for
