Thin-walled tube crushes long before it bends if you grip it with steel. These pliers hold silver, copper or brass tubing in grooved nylon jaws so you can form bezels, frames and structural elements while the section stays true and the surface stays clean. If bezels are on your bench, our bezel setting guide walks through the fundamentals.

The jaw faces carry several semi-circular grooves to seat a range of tube diameters positively, and the soft nylon will not scratch polished work. Underneath, it is a proper pliers build: box-joint construction that keeps alignment true under pressure, with cushioned, non-slip handles for controlled, comfortable bending.

  • Nylon jaw faces feature multiple semi-circular grooves to securely hold various tube diameters.
  • Soft jaw material grips polished or soft metal tubing without scratching or deforming the surface.
  • Durable box-joint construction ensures jaw alignment remains true under pressure.
  • Cushioned, non-slip handles provide comfortable and controlled operation.

Who it's for

An essential tool for UK bench jewellers, silversmiths, and metalwork artists. Ideal for anyone forming bezels, decorative frames, or other structural components from non-ferrous metal tubing such as silver, copper, and brass.

Customer Reviews (4.4 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Penelope W. ★★★★★

Finally tried these on some 14-gauge silver tubing for a bezel — the grooved jaws gripped perfectly without a single dent. Made a clean 90-degree bend on my first attempt, which never happens with my regular metal pliers.

Riley W. ★★★★★

I was getting crushed tube frustration until I tried these—the grooved nylon jaws really let me form bezels without any damage. The grip is solid and precise, making a big difference in my metalwork.

Thomas ★★★★★

Finally, a tool that actually holds thin tubing without crushing it — the nylon jaws are a lifesaver for delicate silver bezels. I can now bend copper frames smoothly without any kinks or flat spots.
