Category: Jewellery Making Tools

Precision pliers for cold-bending spectacle temple ends, offering a custom fit for delicate eyewear and jewellery components.

What it does

These shaping pliers gently curve and adjust temple ends without marking the material. The precisely engineered nylon jaws, one flat and one large cylinder, provide controlled support during cold bending. This design ensures the integrity of acetate, titanium, and metal frames. The durable box-joint construction guarantees consistent jaw alignment, even under firm pressure, for reliable adjustments every time.

How to use it

  • Position the frame temple between the nylon jaws.
  • Apply controlled pressure to achieve the desired curve.
  • Wipe clean after use to maintain jaw integrity.

Who it's for

An essential tool for dispensing opticians, optical technicians, and jewellers working with delicate frame materials. This tool replaces the need for heat or less precise clamping methods, offering controlled shaping for bespoke fits or repairs. Ideal for those needing accuracy on the bench.

Alexander Q. ★★★★★

The 140 mm length gives me great control, and the stainless steel feels surprisingly sturdy for such a precise tool. I used them to adjust a tricky pair of wire frames, and the nylon jaws left no marks at all.

Aurora ★★★★★

The nylon jaws gripped my wire securely without leaving a single scratch, which was exactly what I needed for delicate glasses frames. After a few passes through the pliers, the temple ends curved smoothly and held their shape perfectly.

Richard J. ★★★★★

Finally, a tool that bends temple ends with real control instead of guessing. The 140 mm length gives just the right leverage for precise adjustments, and the nylon jaws haven’t left a single scratch on my acetate frames.
