KNIPEX 5-1/4" Round Nose Jeweler's Pliers with Cutter – 19 01 130

Form precise loops, curves, coils, and bends while keeping a built-in cutter close at hand with these KNIPEX Round Nose Jeweler's Pliers. Designed for fine wire and jewelry work, the precision-ground round jaws taper to fine points for controlled forming across a range of loop diameters.

Unlike basic round-nose pliers, these also incorporate induction-hardened cutting edges, allowing you to bend, form, and cut wire with one compact tool. Forged from vanadium steel and multi-stage oil-hardened, they're built for professional jewelry, electronics, craft, and precision wirework.

Specifications

Precision Round Jaws for Loop Forming

Round-nose pliers are a fundamental tool whenever wire needs to be formed into smooth curves and loops.

The jaws taper from a larger diameter near the joint to fine pointed tips, allowing you to select different positions along the jaw to create different loop sizes. The precision-ground, smooth surfaces provide controlled contact with the wire while forming.

They're particularly useful for creating eye loops, curved components, coils, and other repeatable wire shapes.

Built-In Wire Cutter

These pliers combine round-nose forming jaws with integrated cutting edges, reducing the need to switch tools while working.

The cutting edges are induction-hardened to approximately 60 HRC and are rated by KNIPEX for wire up to 3/32" medium-hard and 1/16" hard.

That combination makes the tool useful for jobs involving both repeated forming and cutting.

Fine Pointed Tips

The tapered jaws terminate in fine pointed tips, providing access to small loops and detailed bends that would be difficult to produce with heavier round-nose pliers.

Moving the wire farther down the tapered jaws allows progressively larger curves and loops, giving you useful flexibility from a single pair of pliers.

Forged Vanadium Steel Construction

KNIPEX manufactures these pliers from forged vanadium steel that is multi-stage oil-hardened for strength and durability.

The head has a polished working area with a black atramentized finish on the pliers, while the handles have a non-slip plastic coating for comfortable control during detailed work.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are the jaws smooth or serrated?
The round jaws have smooth precision-ground gripping surfaces, making them well suited to jewelry and fine wirework.

Do these pliers have a built-in wire cutter?
Yes. They include integrated cutting edges, allowing you to form and cut wire with the same tool.

How hard are the cutting edges?
KNIPEX specifies a cutting-edge hardness of approximately 60 HRC.

What wire can the cutter handle?
KNIPEX rates the cutting edges for up to 3/32" medium-hard wire and 1/16" hard wire.

Can these pliers make different-size loops?
Yes. The jaws taper from larger diameters to fine points. Positioning the wire at different locations along the jaws allows you to form different-size loops and curves.

Are these suitable for jewelry making?
Yes. KNIPEX specifically designed these pliers for fine wire and jewelry work, including forming wire loops.

Can they be used for electronics work?
Yes. KNIPEX also recommends them for cutting and bending applications in electronics.

What are the pliers made from?
They are made from forged vanadium steel and are multi-stage oil-hardened.

Are these insulated electrical pliers?
No. These pliers are not 1,000-volt insulated and should not be used on live electrical circuits.

Where are they made?
They are made in Germany.
