Bent Nose Pliers have a lot in common with chain-nosed pliers, but the nose is bent to about a 45% angle rather than straight. Amazingly versatile, they can be used for all kinds of jewelry making methods from bending wire and metal to grasping a jewelry finding. Mini pliers are great for travelling with, or for jewelers or beaders with smaller hands. They are the same high quality and have the same functionality as standard sized jewelers pliers; they are just lighter-weight. They are stainless steel with double-leaf spring and have a brushed surface and a box joint. The handles are coated in pvc, making for a comfortable grip with great leverage. Pliers measure 4.75"Â? (12 cm) long.
