Swanstrom® - Pliers - Forming, Small Concave/Convex Forming, Long Ergonomic Handle (S980E)

These Swanstrom® fine needle round-nose forming pliers are designed for precision bending and shaping of wire and flat stock. The slightly concave jaws hold wire securely, making them ideal for crafting jump rings, small loops, and intricate bends. With their specialized forming jaw configuration, these pliers maximize shaping versatility—perfect for creating ring shanks, opposing curves (waves or corrugation), angles, and intricate patterns. The anti-glare finish minimizes eye strain and enhances workpiece visibility.

Key Features:

• Adjustable Lap Joint: A screw allows for fine-tuning of joint tension as needed.

• Knurled Jaw Stop: Prevents over-extension and ensures even pressure across the jaws.

• Double-Leaf Spring: Keeps the pliers open until squeezed closed, delivering a fast, strong rebound for efficient work.

• Soft-Touch™ Textured Handles: Ergonomically designed for exceptional comfort during detailed, extended use.

• Latex-Free: All Swanstrom® tool handles are safe for users with latex allergies.
