Precision steel shears for clean sprue removal and component gripping at the jeweller's bench.

What it does

These robust shears offer a dual function for intricate metalwork. The hardened stainless steel jaws feature a sharp cutting edge for effortless sprue removal, complemented by finely serrated gripping surfaces for secure handling of small components. A single-rivet pivot ensures high leverage, making light work of tough materials and reducing hand fatigue during repetitive tasks. The satin finish minimises glare under workshop lighting.

How to use it

  • Position jaws around the sprue or component.
  • Apply firm, controlled pressure for cutting or gripping.
  • Wipe clean after use and store dry.

Who it's for

An essential tool for bench jewellers, silversmiths, and model makers. Ideal for refining pewter or white metal castings, these shears replace multiple tools and streamline post-casting clean-up. Also suitable for hobbyists and intermediate makers working with plastics and other non-ferrous materials.

Customer Reviews (4.6 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Lily ★★★★★

I was pleasantly surprised by how easily these shears cut through thicker casting sprues without any binding. The stainless steel blades stay sharp even after multiple uses, which makes bench cleanup much faster.

Claire V. ★★★★★

The handles have a nice weight to them that makes gripping small components feel secure, and the stainless steel edge has stayed sharp through a full week of bench work. Cleanest sprue cuts I've gotten without having to re-file the piece.

Thomas V. ★★★★★

The blade cut through the casting sprue so cleanly on my first go, no jagged edges left to file down. I’ve used these on both silver and brass components, and the stainless steel edge hasn’t dulled after a week of bench work.
