Wire And Chain Pliers

Wire and chain pliers are a powerful pliers made to cut through chains and solid wire. Where fine cutting pliers are built for precision in thin wire, these are built for power – so you can cut the chain to exactly the length you need.

How to get the best cut

Place the chain or wire as far into the blade as possible – close to the hinge, the pliers are strongest and have the most power. This is especially important when cutting our waterproof chains and jewelry findings in steel, which are harder than brass and silver.

It's especially good for

• Shortening chains for necklaces, bracelets and anklets
• Chains and jewelry findings in steel, e.g. our waterproof chains
• Heavier wire, which fine cutting pliers aren't made for

When is another pliers better?

If you need to cut thin wire or pins very close to your jewelry, a flush cutter gives a neater and more precise cut. Wire and chain pliers are for the powerful cuts – fine cutting pliers are for the precise ones.

In short: If you need to cut chains and heavy wire, wire and chain pliers are the right choice. It saves your fine cutting pliers from the hard cuts, so they stay sharp longer.
