Sundries - Tweezers, Cutters & Pliers

We only sell top quality tools. Where stated, pliers and cutters are assembled using box joints, which ensure that the jaws remain parallel at all times, vital when precision is important. Less expensive types use lap joints whose jaws may not meet exactly. Click here to see details of a box joint (and to wonder how they get one arm through the other!)

Then, turn the bead 90 degrees and centre again, squeeze, open the tool slightly and repeat three or four times until the bead is rounded.
