If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant.
-Anne Dudley Bradstreet

You'll find our pliers both on this page and also on the page specific to each pliers' use (i.e. Wire Working).

Pliers

Heavy Duty Flush Cutters
If you are tired of replacing your flush cutters because you work with heavier gauges of wire, these Heavy Duty Flush Cutters are the solution. Their compound action means that it takes less force to cut the wire too (great for weak hands). This is an unbelievable price for this quality.

$10.00


Foam grips make these cutters extraordinarily comfortable to use.

Hole Punching Pliers
Perfect for paper, leather and very light gauge non-ferrous metals (copper, brass), these pliers make a round 1/16" diameter hole. Use them to make holes for our 1/16" Eyelets, holes for sewing leather, holes for fibers, the list is endless.
Light duty

$10.00


Great for coiling wire for bales and jump rings

AKA "Mom Pliers"

Rod Jawed Pliers
We looked a long time for these incredibly useful pliers. They have 2 different size straight rods for the jaws rather than tapered rods. No more fighting tapered roundnose pliers to get a straight turn in a piece of sheet metal. Perfect for turning hinge knuckles!

Rod sizes are approximately:

  • 3.5mm
  • 5mm

$20.00

Crimp Bead Pliers
Tired of mashed, ugly crimp beads? These pliers close the bead in 2 directions so it looks nice and tidy. The instructions are on the package.

Super Fine Flatnose Pliers
These flatnose pliers are perfect for chain maille, especially if you like to do fine weaves. They are also really nice for people with small hands. Overall length is 4 3/4". Note: for chain maille you'll need 2 pairs.

Ergonomic Flush Cutters
These great little ergonomic cutters are a studio necessity. In addition to being very comfortable for extended use, these guys cut copper wire up to 14 gauge flush and virtually flat (no more filing those rivet heads or trying to cope with rough, irregular cuts). They have a nice pointy tip, a high quality box joint and spring action. Wire-workers, beaders, metalsmiths and other artists will appreciate these cutters. 4 3/4" long.

 

If you are looking for heavier duty cutters for thicker wire, you'll find them here

Ergonomic Roundnose Pliers
Ergonomic handles make these roundnose pliers a joy to use, even for long periods. They are tapered and have a high quality box joint and spring action. Wire-workers, beaders, metalsmiths and other artists will appreciate these pliers. 5" long.

Ergonomic Flatnose Pliers
The narrow tips and the comfortable ergonomic grips make these flatnose pliers perfect for frequent or prolonged use. They are 5" long with a high quality box joint and spring action. For beading, metalsmithing, chain maille and many other crafts.

   
Running Pliers
Running Pliers make the job of breaking scored glass so easy! They have a little hump in the center which you line up with your score line on the glass and then gently squeeze the pliers. Voila! The glass will break cleanly and your hands are safe.


Breaking and Grozing Pliers
Use these pliers when you are breaking a small strip from a piece of glass or when you are worried about cutting yourself. Also for grozing (grinding off shards left from a bad cut).
