## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best parallel pliers for jewelry making
*by M***D on October 11, 2023*

This product is as good as promised! It really helps me when I'm making silver jewelry. It's parallel grasp is ideal for creating uniform bends in metal, forming, straightening and flattening metal.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing pliers if you make chainmail armor!
*by A***. on October 6, 2022*

I have been making chainmail armor since 1975, trying every pair of pliers I could find, and these are the BEST I have ever tried for larger, heavier (14G stainless and titanium) links! I would prefer if these pliers were a little looser, but I'm certain some mileage on them will fix this small critique of mine.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fab as Maun always are. Can't wait for them to loosen up and get smooth
*by F***F on August 27, 2021*

Maun is always the best. I wouldn't mind if they had a mild spring to open back up. My old ones are smooth, these new ones are a bit tight and stuck closed, needing two hands to open them. Hopefully they will loosen up.
