Deluxe V-Notch 3-Step Large Chain Nose Pliers

These deluxe chain nose pliers combine a V-shaped jaw notch with a 3-step profile for superior grip and versatility. The larger size is ideal for heavier or bulkier findings, allowing you to open/hold jump rings, bend wire, and manipulate components with precision and strength.

Key Features
