Category: Jewellery Making Tools

Post-fitting pliers for woodwind repair — seating and adjusting the posts that carry a saxophone's key mechanism, where uneven pressure bends the very part it should hold. The parallel action closes the jaws flat rather than in an arc, so pressure lands evenly across the component and delicate parts keep their shape while you make fine adjustments. Clarinet and flute work benefits in exactly the same way.

One jaw is flat and the other carries a ball-end anvil for seating and shaping posts, while a knurled thumb screw sets the jaw closing distance so repeat adjustments stay consistent. All-steel construction with an internal return spring keeps the action smooth through repetitive work, and one handle is shaped and textured for a sure hold on delicate tasks.

  • Parallel action jaws deliver consistent, even pressure across their entire surface.
  • One flat jaw and one ball-end anvil are designed specifically for seating and shaping posts.
  • Features a knurled thumb screw for fine adjustment of the jaw closing distance.
  • All-steel construction with an internal return spring for smooth, repetitive work.
  • One handle is shaped and textured for improved grip and control during delicate tasks.

Who it's for

A specialist tool for technicians repairing saxophones, clarinets, flutes, and other woodwind instruments. Ideal for any workshop that regularly services key mechanisms and post fittings where precise, even pressure is critical for correct instrument action.

John Q. ★★★★★

Finally, a tool that grips the post evenly without that awful tilting. The parallel jaws made seating a stubborn G# key post feel almost effortless.

Hannah ★★★★★

The parallel-action mechanism is a godsend—my old pliers kept twisting the posts sideways, but these close dead straight every time. Seating a stubborn key post on my tenor took about two minutes, no drama, and the grip feels solid without marring the finish. First tool in ages that actually does wh

Alexander ★★★★★

The parallel jaws finally grip the post evenly on both sides, so I don't have to worry about twisting the key barrel out of alignment. It's a solid, precise tool that makes seating stubborn posts feel almost effortless.
