Category: Jewellery Making Tools

Wide strip is awkward in ordinary forming pliers — pressure lands along a narrow line and the curve comes out faceted. Here, a wide nylon-faced concave jaw spreads the load across the full width of the stock while the opposing round steel jaw acts as the mandrel, so rings and bracelet blanks come round in smooth, even arcs with the surface unmarked.

The nylon jaw cover is removable, and the tool comes with one spare jaw plus two replacement fitting screws, so a worn face never sidelines it. A coil spring between the plain, comfortable handles reopens the jaws for you, and the satin-finished steel body measures 6.25 inches (158 mm) overall. Opticians use the same tool for frame adjustment; anyone bending delicate finished components will understand why.

  • One round, tapered steel jaw opposes a wide, concave jaw for forming curves.
  • Removable nylon jaw cover protects polished or soft metal surfaces from scratches.
  • Supplied with one spare nylon jaw and two replacement fitting screws.
  • Coil spring between the handles provides a smooth, self-opening action.
  • Durable steel construction with a satin finish and comfortable, plain handles.

Who it's for

A specialist tool for UK bench jewellers and silversmiths working with wide, flat wire or sheet stock. Also suitable for opticians adjusting frames and craftspeople needing to bend delicate components without leaving tool marks.

Avery ★★★★★

I've been fighting faceted curves on wide sterling strips for months, and the nylon-faced concave jaw finally fixed that — the pressure spreads across the whole width so the arc comes out smooth. The spare jaw in the box is a nice touch too.

Emma B. ★★★★★

The concave jaw design finally lets me shape wide silver bands without those ugly flat spots. Having the spare nylon jaw included is a thoughtful touch for when one wears out. Exactly what I needed for consistent curves.

Victoria ★★★★★

Finally got smooth curves on wide strips without those annoying flat spots. The concave nylon jaw distributes pressure evenly and the spare jaw is a nice bonus.
