Category: Jewellery Making Tools

This 10-inch forged steel wire drawing tong provides a secure, consistent grip for pulling metal through a drawplate. It's engineered for precision wire reduction on the jeweller's bench.

What it does

These tongs are designed to firmly grasp wire ends, enabling controlled pulling through a drawplate for accurate gauge reduction. The deeply serrated jaws are precisely machined to bite into the metal, preventing slippage even under significant tension. This ensures a clean, even draw from start to finish, crucial for achieving consistent wire profiles. The robust forged steel construction guarantees durability and reliable performance through repeated use.

How to use it

  • Insert wire end firmly into the serrated jaws.
  • Apply steady, even pressure to pull wire through the drawplate.
  • Clean jaws after use to maintain grip.

Who it's for

Essential for bench jewellers, silversmiths, and wire-workers in the UK who regularly reduce wire stock. This tool replaces less secure methods and works in tandem with drawplates, essential for creating precise wire diameters for findings, bezels, or decorative elements.

David V. ★★★★★

I've been struggling with round wire slipping in my old pliers, but these forged steel tongs lock onto the metal perfectly thanks to the serrated jaw design. The 10-inch length gives me excellent leverage for pulling even stubborn gauge wire through the drawplate without hand fatigue.

Thomas T. ★★★★★

The serrated jaws finally give me a grip that doesn't slip mid-pull, even on smooth annealed wire. It's a solid, hefty tool that feels like it'll outlast my bench. The 10-inch length gives just enough leverage without being unwieldy.

Matthew ★★★★★

I've been fighting with drawplates for years, and these tongs finally give me the consistent grip I need. The forged steel feels super solid in my hand, and the serrations really bite into the wire without slipping. A solid upgrade for any jeweller.
