Carbon Steel Long-Nose Serrated Watchmaker Pliers

The long serrated nose watchmaker's pliers in carbon steel are an essential precision tool for anyone who repairs, disassembles or adjusts a watch. With a 5 cm straight half-round serrated jaw, they grip, hold and manipulate the smallest watch components without slipping, even in the hardest-to-reach areas of the case or movement.

About the watchmaker pliers

These watch pliers are forged from hardened carbon steel, a material known for its toughness, resistance to bending and long service life. The long, narrow serrated jaw offers a firm grip on tiny components such as springs, axles, pinions, screws or spring bars. The two-part soft plastic bi-material handle ensures comfortable handling and reduces hand fatigue, even during the longest repair sessions. The sharp tip slides easily between the wheels of a mechanical calibre.

When to use these watchmaker pliers?

The long serrated nose pliers are used when replacing a watch battery, changing a spring-bar bracelet, dismantling a movement or fitting small springs. The serrated jaw grips smooth parts that would slip from a smooth jaw, making it the perfect ally of both hobbyist and professional watchmakers. It is also very useful in jewellery for picking up jump rings, clasps and fine chains.

How to use

Place the piece to be handled between the two ends of the jaw, apply gentle pressure on the handle to hold it, then carry out the fitting or removal action. Avoid squeezing too hard on fragile or plated parts to prevent marking their surface. After use, wipe the pliers with a soft cloth to remove any traces of watch oil or dust.

Quality and durability

Carbon steel offers excellent wear resistance and keeps its edge for years. The careful finish and accuracy of the serrations ensure a safe, repeatable and reliable grip, job after job. It is a long-lasting investment for any serious watchmaking workbench.

Frequently asked questions

Are the pliers antimagnetic?
No, carbon steel is not antimagnetic. For movements sensitive to magnetism, choose dedicated pliers in amagnetic stainless steel.

Can they be used to fit a watch strap spring bar?
Yes, the long serrated jaw is perfectly suited to fitting and removing spring bars on watch straps.

How should the pliers be maintained?
Wipe them after each use, store them in a dry place and occasionally apply a thin coat of oil to prevent rusting of the jaw.
