Bending pliers are one of the most-used tools at the silversmithing bench, and the right pair depends on what you're making. For ring work, the aluminium ring bending pliers are the standout option here: the curved aluminium jaws form a ring from a flat strip of metal without leaving marks, which is something conventional jewellery pliers can't do cleanly. The flat/half round pliers suit general bending and shaping work across wire and sheet.
We stock two flat/half round options at different price points: the German-manufactured version for heavier use, and the Pod Jewellery range as a well-made everyday option. The set of five covers the core pliers most jewellers reach for regularly.
