{"product_id":"concave-stepped-round-nose-bending-forming-parallel-pliers-3-step","title":"Concave-Stepped Round Nose Bending and Forming Parallel Pliers","description":"\u003cp\u003eThese 5-1\/2\" parallel pliers feature a dual-jaw design purpose-built for bending and forming metal with consistent, repeatable results. One jaw is flat and tapered, while the opposing jaw has a 3-stepped round profile in three distinct diameters — giving jewelers and metalsmiths precise control over curves, loops, and bails. The parallel jaw action ensures even pressure across the workpiece, eliminating the twist commonly introduced by tapered needle nose pliers. Spring-loaded handles keep the tool in the open position when not in use, reducing hand fatigue during extended work sessions. Smooth jaws protect soft metals and wire surfaces during forming. Made in Pakistan.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese pliers are especially well suited for fabricating bails that are uniform, symmetrical, and straight. To protect delicate surfaces, cover the jaws with a cut piece of urethane jaw cover (Part #125.716) for a non-marring finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eParallel jaw mechanism delivers even, consistent pressure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne flat tapered jaw paired with one 3-stepped round jaw\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree distinct step diameters for varied forming options\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmooth jaws to protect metal and wire surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpring-loaded handles open automatically for reduced hand fatigue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal for forming uniform, symmetrical, and twist-free bails\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with urethane jaw covers (Part #125.716) for non-marring use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5-1\/2\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMaximum Jaw Opening\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1\/4\" (6mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTop Step Diameter\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4.35mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMiddle Step Diameter\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5.4mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBottom Step Diameter\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6.4mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eJaw Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFlat tapered \/ 3-stepped round\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eJaw Finish\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSmooth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHandle Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpring-loaded parallel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCountry of Origin\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePakistan\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch3\u003eNotes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCover jaws with a cut piece of urethane (Part #125.716) for a non-marring surface when working with delicate metals.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe 3-stepped round jaw profile produces consistent curves without the twist associated with tapered needle nose pliers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Value Line","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43582172954838,"sku":"146.493","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/9832\/0342\/files\/concave-stepped-round-nose-bending-and-forming-parallel-pliers-otto-frei-1.jpg?v=1719957211","url":"https:\/\/www.ottofrei.com\/products\/concave-stepped-round-nose-bending-forming-parallel-pliers-3-step","provider":"Otto Frei","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
