Get started with the five essential pliers every jewellery maker relies on. They've been carefully chosen to suit beginners, hobbyists and professionals. It's so much easier to buy your pliers as a set and we love our Pod Jewellery 130mm plier set.
What You Get:
Chain Nose Pliers - Designed with smooth, tapering jaws for precision bending, opening and closing jump rings, and allowing you to get into tight corners without marking your metal.
Round Nose Pliers - Tapered jaws allow you to create shapes, curves, coils, consistent loops and eye pins. We use this one for making the round loop on earring hooks.
Flat Nose Pliers – Has wide smooth jaws for holding, making sharp bends, and gives a strong controlled grip.
Half Round/Flat Bending Pliers - One flat side and one rounded side allows you to bend wire into hooks and rings (remember to keep the curved side on the inside).
Flush Cutters (or Side Cutters) - Flush Cutters will give you clean neat cuts every time to give you flat wire ends with a clean professional looking finish.
Why This Set Works:
Carefully Selected - These four pliers and one cutter will help you with the basic jewellery making tasks of shaping, bending, cutting, and detailed assembly making your bench work much easier!
Studio Tested - We have been using these pliers over many years in the Pod Jewellery studio. They have double-leaf springs and box joints, which makes them a much higher quality than other basic pliers on the market.
Value for Money - You can buy each of these pliers individually or save yourself money and get them as a set.
Compact & Portable - Your pliers will arrive neatly packed in a zippered carry case, perfect for keeping them organised when working from home or out creating! This case has been laser printed with the Pod logo rather than printed using toxic white ink.
