parallel pliers vs regular pliers

Parallel pliers are used when uniform pressure is required.

They feature a unique compound box joint that enables the jaws to stay parallel to each other. Even under firm pressure, they provide a flat, consistent grip, unlike standard pliers that apply angled, uneven pressure that can cause items to slip out of the jaws.

Thought I would use this a lot but I haven't used it yet. But I think it will be excellent for a particular tight spot for something else in the future. The accessory attachments for the larger stones probably won't work because they're not deep enough.

Does the job and makes things a breeze. One tip: make sure that everything is aligned or you’ll end up cracking a crystal :(

These pliers worked exactly as described. No quality problems. After attempting to use flat nose pliers, these were much appreciated. Was able to make 4 bracelets very quickly.

These cup chain parallel pliers worked perfectly. I especially like that there are several sizes of cup chain that these work for.
