Swanstrom Parallel-Action Bail-Forming Pliers

These innovative pliers (NR1960) from Swanstrom create jump rings, S-hook clasps, loops, bails and any finding requiring a smooth, even loop. The bronze jaws help prevent the marring of your metal. Their parallel-action design ensures that your wire is gripped securely. One fixed 9.5mm jaw and five interchangeable jaws (2.5, 3, 5, 7 and 8.5mm) allow you to make just about any size finding. • The compound joint keeps the jaws parallel as they open and close, and deliver even pressure along the entire length of the jaw, eliminating slipping. • The knurled jaw stop allows you to achieve even, repeatable pressure with no over-extension of the tool. • The double–leaf spring holds the pliers open and ready to use until they are squeezed closed and delivers a fast, strong rebound for improved productivity. • The Soft-Touch™ sure-grip foam handles are longer, wider and ergonomically designed for maximum comfort over extended periods of use. All Swanstrom tool handles are latex free.

Swanstrom Tools manufactures technically advanced cutters and pliers, forged from high chromium, high carbon alloy steel, and hardened to 65 HRC. This material, along with a unique proprietary heat treating process and computer-controlled induction edge-hardening maximize tool life.
