The saying, “The right tool for the job!” couldn’t be more true than when it comes to making jewelry. Sure, for a quick fix or a “one of” jewelry project, you can probably get by with tools from your general home repairs toolbox, but if you want professional looking results, using jewelry-making tools will make the process infinitely easier!
The main reasons not to use “toolbox” tools is that the pliers have textured jaws for gripping, which will mark the surfaces of metal components, plus they’re usually not as delicate to use with the detailed, meticulous techniques that are used in jewelry-making.
As well, there are oodles of tools that are especially designed for jewelry-making that you simply won’t find in a generic toolbox, so yes, it’s definitely all about, “The right tool for the job!”.
