GREAT JEWELRY PLIERS

LOVE these pliers, I've had old used jewelry pliers for many years which I wasted so I bought a set from a department store, they didn't last very well. So this time I bought my set individually since I had the money. Best thing I've ever done when it comes to jewelry making. Doesn't matter.

Pros
  • Good thing
Cons
  • Functionality

Good tools! for jewelry making tools and accessories

This is a more expensive brand. Since I'm on a lower income I wish they were a little more affordable or maybe a discount coupon or some sort of purchase to get the next half of what other low income people need and are just starting out in the jewelry industry or making jewelry for something fro with good tools can be experienced. I got lucky with the gift. But I've been making jewelry for almost 30 years as a hobby and as a gift. This brand, like many other expensive brands (which are more…

Pros
  • Wide range
Cons
  • Working speed

Not your ordinary looking round nose pliers

Really like the Xuron line - great value for money. We have been making jewelry for a very long time and it is very important to have good tools. Inexpensive tools are controversial in terms of product formation, durability and ergonomics. Xuron competes with the best tools at the lowest price. These pliers are unusual in that they DO NOT LOOK like regular pliers - they look like thin flat noses but are rounded and form a nice circular ring or smaller loop. The tool is easy to use, you just…

Pros
  • Useful for more than intended purpose
Cons
  • Minor issues

Capable of penetrating 1mm diameter holes

I'm a fugitive from "Ultra Thin Round Nose Pliers - 4 1/2" - PLR-491.10 How If you read it there, I didn't like it at all. For me it's all about the size of the tip of the pliers at the end. I need to get into a 1mm slip hole in the wire chain. These pliers from Xuron can, but the "Ultra Fine Plier" can't (they're too big) If you're also a refugee here, let this review reassure you that you've come to the right place. One tip of the pliers measures 0.021" x 0.032" (0.53mm x 0.81mm); the other…

Pros
  • Innovative round tip, elliptical along blade length for maximum dexterity and shaping
Cons
  • New competitors have arrived

Like XURON pliers, but not crazy about it.

The price and quality of XURON brand pliers are generally excellent. on my desktop. Over time (and experience) I've upgraded to different pliers - some were more expensive than others, but I picked what worked for me. After XURON came out, I decided to give it a try. The first were crimping pliers - STAR! I no longer hate crimping. I now have 7-8 different Xuron tongs that I love and have become my favorite. Decided to try this one to make very small loops. Tried it last night and didn't do it.

Pros
  • Total length: 5 inches. Lightweight return springs for maximum ease of use.
Cons
  • old

Ideal for fine and thin silver wire structures.

I've searched websites and jewelers for pliers with very thin jaws but to no avail. I finally found them with a broader search: electronics experts hid these tiny, sleek pliers in plain sight. The grip is comfortable and the action makes the pliers very easy to use for long periods of time, which is a must for anyone who spins wire. Well-machined, smooth grommets still hold the wire securely - no tension required. In general, they are ideal for working with 24 gauge plus wire or 22 gauge soft…

Pros
  • Xuron tools are made in the USA. Xuron branded products are covered by our factory warranty.
Cons
  • Only available in white
