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

These fully polished 5-1/8" chain nose pliers are made without leaf springs or vinyl grips — a style known as "Naked" — requiring more extensive hand polishing than spring-and-grip versions, which accounts for their premium price point. Every detail of their construction reflects the exacting standards of a small, family-owned German factory where the craft of toolmaking has been passed down through generations.

Otto Frei Mirror Polished Pliers are renowned for their special mirror finish and the meticulous care given to each tool. These pliers are perfectly balanced and shaped, with precisely formed tips and the highest level of fit and finish available. Matched and true throughout, they represent a professional-grade choice for jewelers who demand the best from their bench tools.

Originally requested by the Revere Academy, these pliers are produced in the same factory as the Revere pliers. The distinction lies in the handle: Otto Frei Naked pliers feature plain, fully polished handles, while Revere pliers use scalloped dental-style handles. Both share the same quality construction and materials.

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