5" (125mm) straight hemostats make jewelry making easier by gripping beads, wire, and clasps securely. Choose straight or curved tips for precision in tight spaces.
Jewelry making often involves handling tiny, slippery parts, from threading seed beads to closing jump rings. A 5" hemostat (125mm Mosquito Forceps) provides a secure, non-slip grip that standard pliers can’t match. These locking forceps act as a third hand for wire wrapping, bead placement, and clasp adjustments, ensuring accuracy without finger strain.
We've been selling high quality hemostats (locking forceps) since 1999. Indigo™ hemostats are made with AISI 410 German surgical grade stainless steel, not "alloy steel" recovered from rusted cars. See "Documentation" for the Chemical Analysis Certificate.
The 5" straight hemostat is ideal for most jewelry tasks such as gripping beads and tightening crimps. However, the curved version makes it easier to reach into tight loops or behind other components. Many jewelers keep both styles to cover every situation.
