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

Secure hard wire gauges without slippage, trim excess lengths in one motion, and maintain direct tactile control at the jeweler's bench. Manufactured in Germany by NIQUA according to rigorous European toolmaking standards, the NIQUA® Antilope Chain Nose Pliers Without Spring with Cut (Mit Hieb, ohne Feder) are drop-forged from hardened high-carbon tool steel. Each pair carries the authentic ANTILOPE MADE IN GERMANY crest laser-engraved directly into the joint frame.

Unlike smooth-jaw pliers, this model features precision serrated inner jaws ("Mit Hieb") that bite securely into precious metal wire, findings, and structural jewelry elements to prevent slipping during heavy bending. Integrated near the pivot throat is an induction-hardened side cutter ("Mit Schneide") designed to flush-cut gold, silver, copper, and brass wire without switching tools. Built without a return spring, the design transmits unfiltered mechanical feedback directly to the artisan's fingers, allowing sensitive pressure adjustments without fighting spring resistance. Fitted with classic red ergonomic anti-slip grip sleeves, this series is available in two standard bench sizes: 120 mm (Ref: 04-001-120) and 130 mm (Ref: 04-001-130).

Why Choose NIQUA® Antilope Serrated Chain Nose Pliers with Cutter

• Cross-Cut Serrated Gripping Jaws (Mit Hieb): Machined with fine horizontal teeth along the inner jaw faces to provide maximum holding friction when pulling heavy wire, bending thick prongs, or uncoiling stiff stock.

• Integrated Side Cutting Edge (With Cut): Built-in hardened cutting notch at the base of the jaws snips non-ferrous precious metal wire cleanly, saving time at the assembly bench.

• Direct Tactile Feedback (Without Spring): Omission of a return spring gives the user direct, unresisted control over jaw opening and closing tension, making it easier to gauge applied force.

• Authentic German Antilope Hallmark: Each unit is stamped with the official Antilope crest and "MADE IN GERMANY" origin text for verifiable authenticity and build quality.

• High-Tolerance Lap Joint: Precision-machined lap joint keeps the fine tapered tips aligned under twisting torque, preventing jaw wobble and blade miscut.

• Ergonomic Red Anti-Slip Grips: Tough red dip-molded vinyl handles provide oil-resistant cushioning and reduce hand fatigue during extended production runs.
