NIQUA® Antilope Chain Nose Pliers Without Spring & Cut (120 mm / 130 mm)

Bend delicate wire gauges, open and close jump rings cleanly, and position fragile components without marring polished metal surfaces. Manufactured in Germany by NIQUA to traditional European goldsmithing standards, the NIQUA® Antilope Chain Nose Pliers Without Spring & Cut are precision bench pliers forged from hardened, high-carbon tool steel. Each tool features the authentic ANTILOPE MADE IN GERMANY crest laser-engraved onto the joint frame.

The inner jaws are ground to a smooth finish without teeth or serrations ("Ohne Hieb"), preventing bite marks on gold, silver, and platinum during forming operations. The outer conical profile tapers evenly toward a fine point, providing access to tight settings and ring undergalleries. Engineered without a return spring and without a side cutter ("Ohne Hieb und Feder"), the pliers transmit direct tactile feedback straight to the jeweler's fingers, eliminating spring resistance during delicate stone-setting and wire-forming adjustments. Fitted with red ergonomic anti-slip grip sleeves, this series is available in two lengths: 120 mm (Ref: 04-000-120) and 130 mm (Ref: 04-000-130).
