SWANSTROM SPIRAL FORMING PLIERS

A Rio Grande jewelry-making item. These spiral-forming pliers from Swanstrom make it easy to quickly shape perfect spirals in wire up to and including 10 gauge. Two Delrin® platens keep the wire flat in the tool, while protecting even soft wire from marring and scratching. Two holes in one platen accommodate larger and smaller gauges of wire; one jaw pivots to fit the gauge of wire being formed, and then a set screw holds the jaw in place and parallel. The anti-glare finish prevents eye strain caused by reflective glare and increases visibility of the workpiece. • These pliers have an adjustable lap joint; the screw allows the joint to be adjusted as needed. • A jaw stop prevents over-extension of the tool and allows for even, repeatable pressure. • 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.
