Student Toolkits |
As an educator, I am of the opinion that quality hand tools help to decrease frustration and increase the qualtiy of my students finished jewelry. To this end, I have recently assembled ten toolkits that feature Swanstrom pliers; which are hands down the best pliers available. After years of carpel-tunnel caused by 4-inch jeweler's pliers, I found peace by using Swanstrom's 5.6-inch short flat-nose pliers. Get a pair for yourself and feel the difference, available exclusively via Rio Grande, (800)545.6566. Each tool kits includes:
two short flat-nose pliers (111-210), one chain-nose pliers (111-152), one round-nose pliers (111-150), one super-flush side-cutters (111-717), one flat needle file (114-729), one round needle file (114-738), 3M superfine sanding pad (337-321), Beadalon beading wire (681-116), sterling crimp beads (693-231), fabric measure tape is from kniting store, vials are from SKS (518)880.6980, item#0043-98, case by Jensen (800)225.5370, item#216-004VK. |
