Pliers for jewellery production

Aktiv Guld has shared our customers’ passion for traditional craftsmanship since 1998 and therefore has more than 20 years’ experience in the industry. One of the fundamental tools within the goldsmith and silversmith sector is a pair of pliers, which is an essential tool used to fashion unique jewellery creations. There are countless models and variations, and, as such, advice and guidance in the area can be helpful. Aktiv Guld consists of an extremely competent team that is at your disposal if you have questions or need advice and guidance. Our strength is our extensive knowhow. We ensure that we remain up to date at all times with the latest techniques and products, thus ensuring that you always receive the best advice.

The most popular pliers are side-cutting pliers and flat-nose pliers, with Aktiv Guld’s range containing many different variants of these particular tools. Among the many side cutters, you can purchase those with or without bevel or spring. There is therefore a pair of pliers to suit all tastes, which can also be seen in our various high quality brands. You can find brands such as Swisotech, Lindström, Knipex and Bergeon. At Aktiv Guld we never compromise on quality and are very conscious about the products we sell. We believe that in order to create quality products, the materials and the tools that are used in the development process must also be of high quality. We therefore enjoy close collaboration with our suppliers and always quality assure our products before adding them to our range. This means that you are guaranteed the highest quality, regardless of whether you purchase precious metals, semi-manufacture, diamonds and gems – or tools and machines.

Flat-nose pliers are also extremely well-suited to the production of jewellery. At Aktiv Guld you find flat-nose pliers with nylon jaws that ensure that the pliers do not scratch the metal. All flat-nose pliers have non-slip handles, thus ensuring that the pliers are comfortable in your hand. At Aktiv Guld we have particular focus on finding products in which ergonomics are taken into account. You will therefore also find models in which the pliers have a soft and ergonomic handle, which contributes to a better working process. Aktiv Guld believes that good working conditions are a prerequisite for being able to carry out high quality work and to bring your creative ideas into the world.

Special pliers

Aktiv Guld’s range also consists of several special pliers that can be used for more complex tasks. In our range of special pliers you will find parallel action pliers, bending pliers, ring closing pliers and round-nose pliers that are particularly effective in terms of specific jewellery production. Ring closing pliers are ideal for bending rings in different sizes and are therefore essential tools when making rings. Ring closing pliers are also easy to use, as they have low friction and do not leave any marks on the metal. Parallel action pliers are available in different versions as flat-nose, pointed and half-round. Furthermore, our range includes parallel action pliers with nylon and brass jaws that ensure a gentler and more protective grip. If you are looking for a pair of pliers that is particularly well suited to redrawing of pearl necklaces or making eye pins, then we also have a special pair of pliers for you at Aktiv Guld. With a pair of bending pliers you have the perfect tool for this work, which also has a non-slip handle that makes it easier to use.

Aktiv Guld also offers tweezers and soldering tweezers, which are typically used in the goldsmith’s daily work. Tweezers are available in stainless steel, titanium and plastic and are particularly useful for handling diamonds and other precious stones. Soldering tweezers, on the other hand, are ideal for holding items in place when carrying out precision soldering. Aktiv Guld also has an extensive range of these particular tweezers. With so many different varieties of pliers and tweezers, it is a good idea to have a stand that can help keep your tools organised. At Aktiv Guld you can buy a plier stand in wood that helps you keep your pliers in order, thus enabling you to have a good overview of your tools during jewellery production.
