Nippers & Pliers

Leather Working Pliers & Nippers

Here we have a range of leather working pliers and nippers that are heavily used in the shoe making and saddlery trade. Shoemakers will use lasting pliers, which are a very practical tool.  The pliers grasp the shoe material while the hooked end lets you lever and roll the material down onto the lasting board. Then without having to change tools the material and or a lasting tack can be hammered in.

Also offered here are specialist saddle making pliers, hide stretchers and flush cut pincers.
