Parallel action pliers hold a workpiece with the jaw faces flat against it through the full range of movement, which is what you want when a ring or a finding has to be gripped hard without slipping. These Maun light chain nose pliers are 5" long, with smooth jaws in hardened tool steel and nickel-plated handles, and they are made in England.
Because the jaws stay aligned instead of pivoting from a single point, more of the jaw face meets the work, so the hold is stronger and the surface is less likely to mar. They close heavy, stubborn, or hardened jump rings, hold a piece steady for filing, and can be used as stone setting pliers.
