When Do You Use
Flat Nose Pliers?

They’re a multi-purpose tool, but one of their main uses is holding and gripping things – often while you’re doing something with a different jewelry tool in your other hand.

They’re also frequently used for making a bend in wire, sheet metal, or other materials.

They’re also handy for opening and closing jump rings.

These pliers are the workhorse of your jewelry toolbox – and you’ll be giving them a good workout!
