Swanstrom Link-Forming Pliers and Peg Set

This pair of Swanstrom link-forming pliers (NR1000/1) includes a set of 16 pegs that offer great flexibility in creating different sizes of links for your jewelry designs. Use them with the link-forming pliers jig (avaialbe separately) to enhance your wire-shaping cabibilities. The anti-glare finish on the pliers prevents eye strain caused by reflective glare and increases visibility of the workpiece. Use these pliers with a ready-made ring or one you’ve made yourself; this tool cannot be used with cast rings. Place the ring around the pegs, then squeeze the handles to stretch the ring into its new shape.
