Swanstrom – Pliers Set – Link-Forming (NR1000)

Introduction

The Swanstrom Link Forming Pliers Set provides everything needed to craft a variety of custom jewelry links with precision and ease.

Versatile Link Forming Tools

Swanstrom link forming pliers merge the shaping power of a jig with the flexibility of pliers. Designed with an anti-glare finish, they reduce eye strain and enhance visibility. Use these pliers with ready-made rings or ones you’ve handcrafted (excluding cast rings). Simply position the ring around the pegs and squeeze the handles to reshape it.

Key Features:

• Adjustable Lap Joint: A screw allows for precise tension adjustments.
• Tempered Coil Spring: Ensures durability and returns to its original shape after compression.
• Jaw Stop: Delivers even, repeatable pressure without overextending the tool.
• Soft-Touch Sure-Grip Handles: Ergonomically designed for maximum comfort during extended use. Latex-free.

Jigs for Custom Shapes:

• Steel Jig: Pre-drilled with 48 holes (1/8″), allowing nearly limitless link designs. The largest pegs (1/2″ diameter) enable links up to W x 2-5/8L using the outermost holes.
• Delrin Jig: Undrilled for complete customization. Drill holes in your desired pattern to create unique link shapes.
