Master demanding wirework and component assembly with these 160mm parallel action chain nose pliers, engineered for a precise, unwavering grip.

What it does

The compound-lever mechanism ensures the smooth, tapered jaws remain perfectly parallel throughout their entire range of motion. This consistent alignment provides an exceptionally secure hold, crucial for bending thicker wires, manipulating larger findings, or assembling intricate pieces without slippage. The robust construction and precisely machined jaws prevent marring even on softer metals, offering control where standard pliers falter.

How to use it

  • Position the tool to grip your workpiece firmly.
  • Apply steady pressure for bending or holding.
  • Wipe clean after use and store dry.

Who it's for

An essential tool for UK bench jewellers, silversmiths, and serious wire-workers tackling heavier gauge materials. These pliers offer superior control compared to standard chain nose types, making them ideal for intermediate to professional users needing reliable performance for demanding tasks.

Alexander W. ★★★★★

The compound-lever mechanism makes a huge difference—I can grip tightly without my hand cramping up after a few minutes. Finally, a pair of pliers that stays perfectly aligned on every bead.

Edward U. ★★★★★

The smooth jaws don't mar the wire at all, even when I'm really cranking down on a tight wrap. I've been able to make much cleaner loops and components since switching to these.

Emily ★★★★★

The compound-lever mechanism makes a huge difference—my hands don’t cramp even after hours of twisting wire. These parallel jaws hold a snug, steady grip on 20-gauge pieces without any slipping.
