Otto Frei Round Nose 5-1/8" Fully Polished "Naked" Pliers

These fully polished 5-1/8" round nose pliers are made without leaf springs or vinyl grips — a style known as "Naked" — requiring more hand polishing than spring-and-grip versions, which accounts for their slightly higher price point. Originally requested by the Revere Academy, these pliers are produced in the same small, family-owned factory in Germany that manufactures the Revere pliers. The distinction between the two lines lies in the handle treatment: Otto Frei Naked pliers feature plain handles, while Revere pliers have scalloped, dental-style handles.

Otto Frei Mirror Polished Pliers are handmade using techniques passed down through generations of skilled craftspeople. The special mirror polish and meticulous construction set these tools apart from similarly priced alternatives. Each pair is perfectly balanced and shaped, with precisely formed tips and the highest level of fit and finish available. These pliers are matched and true — completely mirror polished across the entire tool, including the handles, making them a standout choice for jewelers who demand uncompromising quality.

All Otto Frei German-made pliers are constructed from tough carbon steel, which outlasts stainless steel in demanding workshop use. Note that carbon steel is susceptible to rust when exposed to moisture or the elements — store your pliers in a protected environment when not in use.

Notes

• Carbon steel will rust if exposed to moisture or the elements — store pliers in a protected, dry location when not in use.
• These pliers are slightly more expensive than spring-and-grip versions due to the additional hand polishing required for the fully naked finish.
• Made in the same factory as Revere Academy pliers; the only difference is the handle style.
