Otto Frei 5-1/8" Bent Chain Nose Mirror Polished Pliers

The 5-1/8" Bent Chain Nose Mirror Polished Pliers from Otto Frei are the most popular size in the lineup — and it's easy to see why. Featuring a bent chain nose jaw with a 23 mm jaw length, these pliers are precision-crafted for the demands of professional jewelers, metalsmiths, and bench workers who require reliable, consistent performance day after day.

These pliers include an adjustable double leaf spring mechanism and tough vinyl grips for comfortable, controlled use during extended bench sessions. The mirror polish finish is not merely cosmetic — it reflects the exacting standard applied at every stage of production.

Otto Frei pliers and cutters are handmade by a small, family-run cottage factory in Germany. Each pair begins as a drop-forged blank of special alloyed steel, then is carefully assembled and ground. Box joints are individually adjusted for smooth action, and jaws are precisely matched. The pliers are then heat treated for exceptional hardness before receiving their signature mirror polish. At every step, pieces are meticulously inspected before being stamped with the Otto Frei name.
