Flat Nose Pliers - 485FN - 1-Pair

I use my pliers everyday to make jewelry and other stuff these are so lightweight and easy to se the pointed ends make it easy to grasp small objects like jump rings - makes it so much easier on the wrist!

There was many pliers we looked at. We went with these and are happy we did! The grip is sturdy and doesn't slip. They get the job done when we use them in various projects. They are comfortable when using. Perfect size too. Very pleased.

Easy to use and lightweight

One of the best pliers on the market for modelers

They are exactly what I needed for my wire wrapping. Perfect for those tight spots

Perfect tool for jewelry creations

I do chainmail jewelry so I spend a lot of time opening and closing rings of all sizes (all in tempered aluminum). I bought these along with the Xuron 450BN Bent Nose Pliers to add to my pliers. These were to be an addition to my flatnose, the smallest of the ones I have, and I've found myself using them most often. They're narrow enough to be useful with small rings, but wide enough to handle even bigger rings. Good and durable, well made and definitely worth the price. I did file the jaws smoother as aluminum is easy to mar up, but I doubt most other metals would even notice the small 'edge' that was on the jaws of these. This is something to be aware of, though. Didn't take me long at all to smooth them out by hand. The handle is actually very comfortable. I was expecting to have to do some adjustments to it, but I've found it fits nicely into my hands, better than any other pliers I've had. The material is a very solid plasticy-rubber with a quite nice 'velvety' feel to it. I have long hands for a female and they don't extend past my hands but aren't too small either. Even my husband said the fit is nice (and his hands are a bit bigger than mine). These are also very well oiled (had to clean some off) which is better than most pliers I've tried (got a few other pairs before getting these ones and one was so stiff it took quite a bit of dousing with 3in1 to get them moving smoothly), and the jaws open quite wide as well if it's something that's important to you. Can definitely recommend these if you're looking for flat nose pliers that are more narrow than most on the market. The price is fantastic and they're made in the USA if you're looking for that kind of thing as well. Update: So, I've been using these for quite a while now and bought a second pair, and I wouldn't have any other pliers. Love the width of the ends, one jaw is a little thinner the other so that's actually helpful. I have, however, downgraded them to 4 stars because of the handles. Still excellent in my hands, still fit better than anything else I've tried, still comfortable. However, the handles are also meant to be able to be removed so the spring can be replaced. Unfortunately, they also move and slide down as I'm working with them sometimes. Wish there was a way to lock them in place (I'm looking into it) and still be able to remove them to change that spring should I want to. Haven't had a problem with the spring though, so don't know that I'll ever need to replace it... likely just as cheap to buy a new pair. Also, I have had the spring "slip", but adding a little bit of graphite lubricate (3-in-1 works well, too) fixes the issue, so I'm not taking away anything for that, just adding the info if anyone else has had problems with it.

I do chainmail, so I open and close rings constantly. I got these as a temporary solution while I could save up for a more pricey set, but after a month of use, I decided to order a second set of these instead. They have made it so much easier on my hands and wrists. Easy to grip and hold closed, and the hinge is really well oiled. I do recommend filing the edges smooth if you work with aluminum or enameled copper. I haven't found a better product. I thought they would be too narrow for bigger rings, but they did well on 10mm rings!

La pinza piatta è un ottimo supporto per la creazione di componenti in filo metallico con perle. le pinze di Xuron sono sottili e molto efficaci da usare per piegare il filo e per tenere fermo un anello mentre si gira il filo a spirale anche per anelli molto piccoli.

Super buenas pinzas 👍

Excellent pliers. Purchased for jewellery making.

Made in the USA (so if you're Canadian, you know what this means). These pliers are top-drawer in terms of quality; they will hold up for those seeking a pair of precision jewelry pliers that can withstand daily use over many years. That said, if you're Canadian ... you know what you know.
