Maun Professional Jewellery Tools and Equipment

Professional bench work requires tools that solve specific fabrication challenges. We have engineered our range of metal forming tools to address common issues: slipping components, marred surfaces on soft metals, and hand fatigue during repetitive batch work.

Our range of Jewellery Parallel Pliers is the industry standard for precision working. Unlike standard scissor-action tools, our parallel jaws close evenly along their entire length. This provides a secure, square grip essential for stone setting, manipulating jewellery findings without distortion, and holding sheet metal flat for drilling or filing.

Jewellers in need of a clean finish should take a look at our Diagonal & End Cutters. These high-leverage tools are designed for a Flush Cut (or semi-flush), minimizing the need for filing after cutting. With jaws induction-hardened to HRC 64, they handle everything from soft Sterling Silver and Gold Filled wire to tough stainless steel and tiger tail beading wire with ease.

Specialist Solutions for the Bench

Beyond the essentials, Maun offers specialized tools developed in conjunction with course leaders at the Birmingham School of Jewellery to solve specific fabrication problems:

  • Half Round & Flat Pliers (Ring Bending) - The essential tool for forming perfect ring shanks and curves. The half-round jaw creates the radius while the flat jaw applies pressure, allowing you to bend heavy-gauge strip or D-shape wire without marking the inside of the band.
  • Clamping Parallel Pliers (The "Third Hand") - Features a locking thumb screw that clamps the jaws shut. This acts as a hand-held vice, perfect for holding components steady while you solder, file, or polish, or for gluing bead tips securely.
  • Round Nose Pliers - A staple for any kit. Our parallel action keeps the jaws consistent, making it easier to form uniform loops, jump rings, and filigree work compared to standard pivot pliers.
  • Crimping Pliers - Essential beading tools for creating secure, professional terminations. Designed to compress crimp beads neatly without cracking the metal or fraying the stringing material.
  • Ball Chain Pliers - A niche but vital tool for manufacturers. It cuts and rejoins metal ball chains (dog tag chains) with a specialized die, eliminating the need for warranty repairs on broken connectors.

Our UK-based shop helps professional jewellers find the highest quality tools possible. Our pliers are the perfect companion during soldering and stone setting, fitting perfectly next to your tweezers, files, and triblets. The Maun Nylon and Soft Jaw pliers are indispensable for working with polished Argentium, 18ct Gold, or Palladium, where you must avoid scratching delicate surfaces.
