NIQUA® Antilope Flat Nose Plier with Nylon Jaw 140mm

Straighten colored wire, bend polished sheet stock, and manipulate delicate jewelry components without leaving a single scratch, dent, or tooling mark. Manufactured in Germany by NIQUA to exacting European goldsmithing standards, the NIQUA® Antilope Flat Nose Pliers with Nylon Jaws (140 mm / Ref: 04-020-133) are precision bench pliers forged from hardened, high-carbon tool steel. Each pair carries the authentic ANTILOPE MADE IN GERMANY crest laser-engraved onto the joint frame.

Engineered specifically for handling mirror-polished, plated, and scratch-sensitive metals, these pliers are equipped with durable, non-marring synthetic nylon jaw inserts over broad, parallel steel bills. The resilient plastic cushions clamping force evenly across fine gold, sterling silver, platinum, copper, and anodized craft wire, eliminating the pinch marks and edge facets typical of bare steel jaws. Built with a springless lap joint that gives the artisan direct, unresisted tactile feedback, and fitted with ergonomic red PVC-coated handles, this 140 mm tool delivers comfortable, fatigue-free control for delicate bench forming and assembly.

Why Choose NIQUA® Antilope Nylon Jaw Flat Nose Pliers

• Non-Marring Protective Nylon Jaws: Tough synthetic plastic jaw faces cushion metal contact, allowing you to grip, bend, and pull wire and sheet without scratching polished or plated finishes.

• Broad Flat-Nose Clamping Surface: Parallel flat-bill geometry distributes pressure over a wide contact area, preventing localized denting on soft fine metals.

• Direct Tactile Sensitivity (Without Spring): Built without internal spring pushback so your fingers feel every nuance of applied pressure for safe handling of fragile components.

• Extended 140 mm Leverage: The 140 mm overall length provides balanced leverage, making wire straightening and tight right-angle bending smooth and effortless.

• Authentic German Antilope Hallmark: Permanently laser-engraved with the Antilope emblem and "MADE IN GERMANY" origin text for verified authenticity and long service life.

• High-Precision Lap Joint Alignment: Machine-fitted lap joint keeps the nylon jaw inserts perfectly aligned under twisting torque, preventing jaw deflection.

• Ergonomic Red PVC Handles: Oil-resistant, dip-coated red handles provide a secure, non-slip grip and cushion the hand during extended bench shifts.
