Ring joins solder cleanly when the work cannot move. These tweezers act as a third hand: slide the lock along the shank and the jaws hold constant tension on the ring with no finger pressure, leaving both hands free for solder, pick and torch. Our guide to soldering sterling silver without pitting shows the setup in practice.

A curved inner jaw supports the ring shank while the wide, cross-hatched outer jaw takes the grip, and the raised, textured slide moves positively under the thumb. The satin metal finish keeps bench-lamp glare out of your eyes during setting, filing and polishing work.

  • Sliding lock mechanism provides adjustable, constant tension without hand pressure.
  • Features a curved inner jaw to support the ring shank and a wide, cross-hatched outer jaw for a secure grip.
  • Durable metal construction with a non-reflective, satin finish to reduce glare at the bench.
  • Allows for precise, hands-free positioning during soldering, setting, and polishing operations.
  • The sliding lock features a raised, textured surface for positive thumb control.

Who it's for

Primarily for professional bench jewellers and repair workshops across the UK requiring a reliable third hand for ring work. Also suitable for jewellery making students and serious hobbyists who need to secure pieces for intricate tasks like stone setting or detailed filing.

Ava ★★★★★

My fingers would cramp up trying to keep tension on a ring while soldering, so the locking shank is a genuine lifesaver. Slide it into place and the jaws hold firm with zero effort, letting me focus the torch with both hands.

Charlotte L. ★★★★★

Finally, a way to hold a ring steady for soldering without my fingers getting in the way. The locking mechanism on the shank is brilliant—once you slide it into place, the jaws stay put with constant tension.

Ryan ★★★★★

I’ve used these on a few tricky ring repairs and the locking shank really does hold steady pressure without my hand cramping up, which is a huge plus for long soldering sessions. The jaws kept the ring perfectly aligned while I worked, and the solder flowed cleanly every time.
