Bending thick wire or flat metal sheet into a flawless, consistent circle by hand is nearly impossible. Usually, you need a heavy steel mandrel and a rawhide mallet. The Durston® 3-Step Mandrel Forming Pliers put that shaping power directly into the palm of your hand. Crafted by the legendary British jewelry toolmakers at Durston, this heavy-duty 160mm plier features three stepped barrels and a specially coated lower jaw, allowing you to press perfect curves without leaving a single scratch on your precious metals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003eWhy You’ll Love It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"9,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eThree Perfect Sizes (13\/16\/20mm):\u003c\/b\u003e The top jaw features three precision-machined steel barrels.
