Description
Weave Got Maille Flat Nose Plier(1). Custom made for chainmaille, Flat nose pliers come with a nice snub nose to make it easier to see the Jumprings. The pliers are hand finished for nice smooth face that will reduce mars and chips. The handles have a comfortable padded grip. Flat Nose pliers are perfect for working with larger jumprings or harder metals such as stainless steel. Light in the hand, they are a joy to use. Overall length is 5”.
can confidently say that this is a better product for chainmailling than whatever needle-nose pliers are at your local hardware store, and worth the price. the short nose makes them good for precise weaving, and the flat surface means they can handle larger rings without much slipping. the handles themselves are comfortable enough, and I do not have to worry about the cover slipping off or getting worn through.
I do wish they opened wider; I like to palm my pliers while I use my thumb and index for positioning sometimes, and because the handles rest close to each other that is harder to do with this set. still, a nice high quality pair of weaving pliers, well worth the price.
This tool is taking my jump ring technique to a new level. Thank you.
Some how I misplaced my first pair wich I really liked that were bought from here.. hopefully I will not loose these ... They are my favorite pairs for doing chainmail
They work very well.
Paired with tool magic dip, they are absolutely perfect.
I was on the fence about buying a specialiced pair of pliers, I thought that they wouldnt be such a difference than some cheap needle nose pliers.
I WAS WRONG! The build quality is superb and they are so thin at the edge that it makes manouvering small jump rings much easier. The large flat top also made medium size rings easier to hold and the leaf springs are much softer so there is less strain in my hand while holding rings.
I would buy again.
These pliers when coated with Tool Magic are perfect to use on jump ring projects
I use stainless steel rings 99% of the time. I made a mistake by using these on 16 gauge stainless, which marred the jaws. Now I have problems with them gripping my 20 gauge rings. Had I known they would not work well for larger, harder metals, I would have stuck to smaller gauge rings. The other issue is that the handles are small, I had to add rubber grips to them to make it easier to hold them in my hands and get a better grip. The design is great for smaller gauges of softer metals. Smaller hands would probably not need to add larger grips. I do like the narrow jaws for smaller work!
