Most jewellery-making techniques include using a specific type of pliers. Browse our website for new pliers, cutters & more precision tools.

Our Nylon Plier Flat has nylon jaws that avoid scratching & damaging jewellery when forming. The flat surface on the plier nose is meant for bending & straightening wire, as well as being used for gripping large items. Other specialist pliers that are well-suited for working with wire are our Side Sprue Cutter & Serrated Jaw pliers. For cutting thin metal sheets, check out our Tin Snip pliers which are available for both left & right-handed jewellers.

For beading & working with crimps we stock specialized Plier Crimps that form smooth crimps & avoids making sharp edges, which are usually made by using ordinary pliers. Alternatively key-ring pliers can be attached to any set of keys & are better for general use when you're on-the-go.
