The Beadsmith Parallel Pliers – Double Nylon Flat Nose Jaws – Uniform Pressure to Provide a Consistent Grip – Textured Metal Handles – Replacement Jaws Included – Steel Tool for Jewelry Making

It should be mentioned that these are parallel pliers. What a difference in accuracy.

I own three pairs one came crooked and could not be used, also they should make reolacement nylon tips easier to order

Awesome for holding a small aluminum piece for grinding and sanding, without marring the held surfaces, which is exactly what I needed.The only thing that would make these better is if they would lock, like vise grips or locking pliers. As a workaround, I "lock" these pliers by putting a doubled hair elastic around the handles to hold the jaws shut, which has worked.

I am a jewelry maker, and have gone through at least a dozen of these types of pliers over a 10 year period. These are sop far, by far, the best ones I’ve ever used. In fact, I’m going to buy another pair to have as backup in case at can’t found these if/when I need a new pair!

Screw holding the nylon in is sticking out of the inward side of the nylon, making the pliers not usable since the screw will leave marks on metal

I saw this tool in a YT video on making a caged bead, and since I was trying to make a spiral "S" shape in wire, I decided to buy one. I was amazed at its superb grip strength and pressure! There's no comparison to the leaf-spring version of this item! I'm very pleased with my purchase so far.

If you don't already have a tool like this, you will be blown away by how often it's the right tool for the job.

Love the item. So far has held up to 10ga wire. Better than I had hoped
