Category: Jewellery Making Tools

A third hand that does not tire: slide the ring down the handles and these pliers lock shut, holding the workpiece while both of your hands get on with the job. Glass artists use them for chipping, jewellers for setting work in awkward mounts, and they earn their keep across bench repairs wherever a small part must stay put.

One jaw is cross-serrated for bite, the other smooth to spare delicate surfaces, and a steel spring reopens them the moment the lock ring is released. The whole tool is stainless steel and 125 mm long — compact enough for close, detailed work, and unbothered by workshop damp.

  • A sliding ring locks the handles, applying consistent clamping pressure without continuous hand force.
  • Features one cross-serrated jaw for grip and one smooth jaw to help prevent marring delicate surfaces.
  • Constructed from stainless steel for durability and resistance to corrosion in the workshop.
  • A steel spring between the handles provides a consistent opening action when the lock is released.
  • The 125mm overall length offers good control for detailed work on small components.

Who it's for

An essential third hand for UK glass artists chipping edges, jewellers setting stones in awkward mounts, and model makers holding small parts for painting or assembly. This tool is favoured by anyone needing a small, lockable clamp for intricate work.

Benjamin Y. ★★★★★

The locking mechanism on these pliers is so smooth and reliable—once you slide the ring down, they hold tight without slipping. I've been using them for holding small metal pieces while soldering, and it's a huge relief not having to grip the whole time. The stainless steel feels solid and well-made

Sofia ★★★★★

I do a lot of stained glass work, and the stainless steel jaws on these pliers grip the copper foil firmly without marring it. The sliding ring mechanism locks on tight, letting me use both hands for soldering.

Grace N. ★★★★★

The sliding lock ring is such a simple but brilliant design—one push and it holds my glass piece steady while I chip away. I've been using it for two days straight and my hands aren't tired at all.
