Flat Nose Plier | Steel | Black Handle | Pack of 1 - Jewellery Making Tool

Grip, bend and square up wire without marking it. This flat nose plier has broad, flat serrated jaws with a short cutting edge near the joint, steel jaws and black cushioned handles.

It is the plier that holds while the other one turns, so it is the usual partner to a round nose plier.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a flat nose plier?
Yes. It is a flat nose plier with flat serrated steel jaws and black handles, sold as a pack of 1.

Will the serrated jaws mark my wire?
They can mark soft or plated wire. Wrap the jaws in a little masking tape for delicate pieces.

Flat nose or round nose, which do I need?
A flat nose plier grips and bends at sharp angles, so it closes jump rings and squares wire. A round nose plier rolls loops. Most makers buy both.
