Xuron® Metalsmith's Tool Kit

This handy, travel-friendly Xuron® tool kit includes three tools—a shear, a cutter and a flat-nose pliers; each is selected especially for those forming small, intricate findings of sheet and wire. The set comes in a sturdy, durable three-pocket canvas roll with a flap cover. The tool kit is neat, tidy and ready to go when you are.

• 9180NS metal shears—These specially designed high-durability shears from Xuron® have serrated edges that prevent fiber from sliding, providing a precise cut; they are ideal for cutting bead cord and Beadalon® beading wire. The cutting edges of the blades are heat-treated to 57–59HRC for a long tool life. Shears operate like scissors, with blades that smoothly bypass one another as they cut, but have a more robust construction ideal for cutting metal sheet.
• 2175 Maxi-Shear™ flush cutters—These precise flush cutters from Xuron® have a slim profile and smaller head to increase maneuverability and improve access to hard-to-reach spaces; the patented blade by-pass cutting action—reminiscent of a shears—cuts metal cleanly with minimal effort. These cutters are effective for cutting metal wire and sheet, as well as beading wire, including Beadalon®. A dark matte finish prevents eye strain caused by reflective glare and increases visibility of the workpiece.
• 485FN flat-nose pliers—Ideal for chainmail work, these Xuron® flat-nose pliers offer slim, flat jaws that provide a more secure grip on jump rings and a jaw length that helps deliver greater access and control. Flat-nose pliers are ideal for wider, broader bends in wire—for metal-forming, straightening and flattening sheet and wire and for making angled bends.
