XURON 496 Split Ring Pliers | Curved Catch Tip & Ergonomic Grip

Overview

The XURON 496 Split Ring Pliers are a compact, hand friendly tool designed for jewelry making, repairs, and other small assembly tasks. The curved catch tip is engineered to slide under a ring and open it, then gently grasp the ring to hold it in place during placement. This creates a controlled, precise action that reduces drift as you work with tiny components. Designed for both hobbyists and professionals, the tool supports comfortable handling in tight spaces and its finish resists wear through daily use.

In hand, the tool feels balanced and light. The ergonomic handle with non slip Xuro-Rubber grips provides stable control, letting you focus on alignment rather than grip strength. Its lightweight construction helps you maneuver in tight spaces without fatigue, making it suitable for extended sessions whether you are paring wires, attaching clasps, or stringing charms. The grip texture remains comfortable even after extended use, helping you maintain accuracy without cramping.

The 496 model is compatible with ring sizes all the way down to 00, giving it versatility across many projects. The blister pack with a generic card keeps the tool protected and organized at the point of sale or in your workshop. This combination of thoughtful design and practical features supports routine tasks with confidence, without implying results or guarantees. Each detail is chosen to help you work more efficiently while preserving the integrity of delicate components.
