Why Choose Short-Jaw Pliers?
Short-jaw pliers are an excellent choice when gripping power, strength, and control are more important than additional reach.
Compared with long-jaw versions, short jaws can provide:
- Better gripping power
- Greater strength
- Increased leverage
- Improved control
- A more secure grip on wire
- Precise manipulation of small components
Tronex specifically notes that the short-jaw configuration in this set provides better gripping power and is stronger than the long-jaw version.
Long Ergonomic Handles
The P713, P732, and P744 feature long ergonomic handles.
The longer handles provide additional leverage and can offer a comfortable working position during repetitive wire-forming and gripping tasks.
This combination of short jaws and long ergonomic handles gives you a useful balance of gripping strength, control, and leverage.

Each plier provides a different jaw configuration:
P713 Chain Nose – Ideal for gripping, holding, bending, and positioning wire.
P732 Round Nose – Designed for making loops, coils, curves, and rounded bends.

Together, these three pliers cover many of the fundamental tasks involved in jewelry making and precision wire work.
