The Beadsmith Bent Chain-Nose Pliers for Crafting and Repair, Jewelry Making Supplies

Perfect tool for my needs. Good quality construction as well. Very reasonable price. I actually ended up buying another for my son and another for a friend!

I had this plier and liked it so much I got one for my daughter. She loves it!

I bought this to help with doing my leather work and it grabs the needle without any slippage to pull it through. Works well and doesn't cause my hand any pain to push the needle through.

I found these to be well made and comfortable to use. The movement is smooth with no resistance or looseness in the joint. The handgrips feel good in the hand. They're small but feel substantial. The contact between both sides is even and consistent.

I make rosaries, and I use very stiff wire (stainless steel, probably 18 gauge or so). With my other "rosary" pliers (which include a cutter), I have to be very careful about the direction of bending. If I bend in the wrong direction the jaws will deflect quite a bit. But these are made differently, and I believe are made of a harder steel too. The way the arms of the pliers fit together at the pivot is that one arm has a notch at the center, and the other arm fits inside that notch. Whereas my other pliers' arms are mirror images of each other, one on one side and the other on the other side of the pivot point. That's why the other pliers deflect so much when you twist in the wrong direction: all the stress is on the rivet holding the jaws together. But these have a stronger design for the pivot, and since it's symmetrical you can twist either way. Much better. The jaws are also longer, which gives both a larger diameter at the big end and also a more gradual taper, both of which are nice. The only negative is that they have a slightly larger "small" end, so it's harder to make very small loops in the wire. Since I almost always use a heavier gauge wire it's not a big deal for me, but if I was working with very fine wire it's be an annoyance. And I don't miss the wire cutter at all: with stainless steel all those style cutters are worthless. I use a memory wire cutter, which has lasted for years, whereas even top-notch diagonal or side cutters like Klein dull very quickly. All in all these are really great for rosary work, even with very stiff wire.

Well made. Works smoothly with a tight joint. Great for closing jump rings. Great price. Easy to use.

Ordered 2 great

These pliers are just perfect for working with the Chainmaile rings. So much easier than the flat pliers. Much easier on my older hands.

Good quality nice grips.

Essa marca de alicates é excelente.

Neat size, grips a needle well and is nicely made.

Muy buena calidad y muy resistentes, las recomiendo al 100%

Outil totalement raté à la limite de l'arnaque, outil rappelant les débuts de la copie Chinoise. Mal usinées, mal fabriquées les becs ne sont même pas droits.
