Use 5" (125 mm) straight hemostats for precise bonsai wiring. Ideal for gripping, guiding, and securing wires without damaging branches and while protecting delicate bark.
Bonsai artists often use 5" (125 mm) straight hemostats to hold and guide wire during shaping. Their locking jaws provide a firm, steady grip on fine wire while leaving your other hand free to position branches. Unlike standard pliers, the narrow tips and light weight help avoid damage to delicate bark, making them especially useful when wiring younger or thinner branches.
Unlike heavier tools, straight hemostats give bonsai growers fine control in tight spaces close to the trunk or among dense foliage. The compact 125 mm size is perfect for working with small bonsai trees, intricate branch structures, and fine aluminum or copper wire. By freeing one hand, they make detailed wiring less fatiguing and more accurate, especially during long shaping sessions.
