These German-made wide jaw prong pulling pliers are designed to lift and open prongs on larger stone settings with control and precision. The lower jaw rests firmly against the prong for support, while the upper jaw's sharp edge grips the underside of the prong tip—allowing the jeweler to raise the prong steadily without slipping. Suitable for all but the smallest stone settings, these pliers are a reliable bench tool for stone removal, resetting, and prong maintenance work.
