サドルカーブフォーミングプライヤー — リング・バングル用アンチクラスティックジョー、スチール、14cm

The convex and concave jaws nest together so well that the saddle starts forming on the first squeeze instead of after twenty minutes of hammering. At 14 cm they fit my hand nicely and the steel hasn't marred a single copper bangle. Wish I'd bought these before ruining three blanks.

I've been fighting anticlastic bangles with just a hammer for months, so the jaws on these pliers finally let me start the saddle shape cleanly in one pass. The steel feels solid and the 14 cm length gives me decent leverage on wider cuffs without my hand cramping up.

The convex jaw nesting into the concave one keeps the metal from slipping while I form the saddle, which saves me a ton of cleanup afterward. At 14 cm they fit my smaller hands better than my old forming pliers. Bangle ends finally line up without all the hammering back and forth.
