Durston Professional Pliers
Built like precision instruments. Used like an extra pair of hands.

Durston’s Professional line of pliers isn’t your average bench tool. They’re engineered for jewelers who demand accuracy, comfort, and durability in every squeeze. Made from hardened, high-carbon steel, each pair is precision ground and polished to ensure clean contact surfaces and smooth action. The lap-joint construction keeps jaws perfectly aligned, while double-leaf springs provide just the right amount of rebound so your hands don’t wear out before your ideas do.

Each handle is fitted with ergonomic, non-slip grips designed for long studio sessions, and the jaws are smooth and non-serrated, giving you full control without leaving unwanted marks on precious metal. From delicate wirework to small-scale fabrication, these pliers handle the fine details like they were designed by someone who actually works at a bench, because they were.

Why jewelers love them:
* Crafted from high-carbon steel for strength, durability, and long edge life.
* Precision-ground, mirror-polished jaws for smooth, mar-free performance.
* Lap-joint pivot ensures perfect jaw alignment and consistent pressure.
* Double-leaf springs reduce hand fatigue during repetitive work.
* Ergonomic handles for secure, comfortable grip.
* Designed in the U.K. by Durston a trusted name in jewelry tools for over 50 years.

Whether you’re looping, bending, forming, or flattening, Durston Professional Pliers give you control that feels more like craftsmanship than work.

This needle-chain plier features slim, tapered jaws that narrow to a fine point.

It excels when you’re working on delicate chain work or anything that needs surgical finesse. Think opening and closing tiny jump rings without mangling them, manipulating fine chain links during repair or creation, positioning delicate parts while soldering, tweaking small bends or angles in wire or findings, and nudging ends of chain into place for clasping or linking. Because its jaws are narrow and precise, you can get into tight spots and see what you’re doing which is golden when you’re building earrings, necklaces, bracelets, or doing fine repairs.

Jaw length = 23mm
Tip width = 1mm
Handle length = 89mm
Overall length = 115 mm

This plier offers a comfortable size for detailed work without feeling bulky in your hand.

If you’re a hobbyist, this is one of those “invisible heroes” in your toolbox. It's not flashy, but whenever you need ultra control or to finesse something tiny, you’ll reach for this plier more than you expect.
