Tronex P523G / P723G Grounded Short Tip Needle Nose Pliers for Permanent Jewelry Welders

Precision Grounding Pliers for Permanent Jewelry, Micro Welding & Fine Chain Work

The Tronex P523G and P723G Grounded Needle Nose Pliers are precision grounding pliers designed for use with permanent jewelry welders and micro welders, including Orion, PUK, and compatible unbranded welding systems. The fine, short needle nose provides excellent control when positioning and grounding small jewelry chains during permanent jewelry welding.

Unlike standard alligator clips, these grounded pliers allow you to grip a specific chain link securely, helping improve control and positioning while working on fine jewelry. The narrow 1 mm tips are especially useful when accessing small links and confined work areas.

The P523G features a standard-length handle, while the P723G offers a long ergonomic handle for users who prefer additional reach and comfort. Both models include a permanently attached 5-foot grounding cable with flexible silicone-insulated copper wire and a removable banana connector.
