Perfect-Set Prong-Closing Pliers

The angled jaw of these perfect-set prong-closing pliers bends prongs properly for secure, easy setting; the fine tips make these pliers ideal for easy access to small prongs or a closely set cluster of stones, as in a perfect-set ring or a tennis bracelet. The jaws on stone-setting pliers are specially shaped to provide easy access to prongs. Use them to move prongs securely into place against the stone or to move prongs away when removing a stone from its setting. The tough, rust-resistant stainless steal delivers a reasonable tool life and good value.• These pliers have a box joint; one half of the joint surrounds the other half, and the pivot is contained within. This joint holds its alignment far longer than a lap joint but allows the tool to open only as far as the box size.• The double-leaf spring consists of flat, tempered metal tabs attached to the inside of each tool handle, positioned to meet and hold the handles apart (and the jaws open) until they are squeezed closed; the spring delivers a fast, strong rebound for improved productivity.• Plastic-dipped handles help ensure comfort and a secure grip.
