V-Shape Parallel Action Bending Pliers, Metal Wire Forming Tool for Jewellery Making and Crafts
For jewellers and wire workers who require repeatable, sharp angular bends, these pliers are the ideal tool. The parallel action jaws ensure consistent pressure, creating identical V-shapes in wire and strip metal for production work without variation. All stock is held in the UK.
Key features
- One jaw features a V-shaped groove whilst the other has a corresponding V-point for forming sharp angles.
- A compound joint mechanism delivers a true parallel action, keeping jaws aligned throughout their movement.
- Applies even pressure across the workpiece for consistent, uniform bends in soft metal wire and strip.
- Steel jaws are machined to a sharp profile for creating clean, defined angles.
- Enables the creation of identical V-bends repeatedly, essential for production work and consistent results.
Who it's for
A workshop essential for UK bench jewellers, silversmiths, and craftspeople working with wire. Also suited for model makers and electronics technicians who need to form precise angular components from metal strip or wire.

How this compares
| V-Shape Parallel Action Bending... | Alternatives | |
|---|---|---|
| Jaw Mechanism | Compound joint delivering true parallel action | Simple pivot joint, non-parallel jaw closure |
| Bending Profile | Machined V-groove and V-point for sharp angles | Flat or rounded jaws for general bending |
| Bend Consistency | Enables identical, repeatable V-bends for production | Variable bend accuracy, less suited for repetitive work |
| Stock Location | All stock held and dispatched from the UK | Stock held overseas, longer delivery times |
