Professional Jewelry, Wire Working & General-Purpose Pliers and Cutters Set
The Tronex 6-Piece General Purpose Pliers & Cutters Set with Long Ergonomic Handles combines four versatile precision pliers with two professional razor-flush cutters, providing a well-rounded selection of tools for jewelry making, wire forming, assembly, repair, electronics, and general precision work.
This set intentionally combines long-jaw and short-jaw pliers, giving you the flexibility to choose between extended reach and increased gripping control depending on the task. The long ergonomic handles provide additional reach and a comfortable working position, while the short-jaw P745 offers increased leverage for gripping and bending.
The two included Tronex cutters complement the pliers with different head styles: the 7223 Medium Taper Head Cutter provides excellent access into tight areas, while the 7513 Large Oval Head Cutter offers greater cutting capacity for larger soft copper wire.
All six tools are stored in the included wood pliers stand, keeping your most-used tools organized and accessible at the workbench.

Long Jaw & Short Jaw Versatility
One of the advantages of this set is the combination of long- and short-jaw pliers.
The P711 and P731 provide additional reach, making them useful when you need to access recessed or confined areas or work farther away from your hand.
The P745 short jaws provide increased gripping power and control, making them a strong choice for bending and manipulating wire where leverage is more important than reach.
The P752's 60° bent nose adds another type of access, allowing you to approach work from an angle that can be difficult with straight pliers.
Together, these four plier styles give you significantly more flexibility than a set containing only one jaw configuration.
